Leadtek Geforce 6800 GT 256MB DOA?

[kamchak20X6]

I just spent the last two days swapping components and checking everything in my computer, and either the Leadtek Geforce 6800 GT isn't compatible with my Gigabyte GA-7NNXP or I got the card DOA. Has anyone else had problems with a Geforce 6800 GT with the 7NNXP?

Try the card in another computer. I'm sure a friend wouldn't mind you putting a 6800 GT in their machine

Well, that's never a bad idea (unless you're a real geek and don't HAVE any friends ).

I'm curious, though. What are the symptoms? I assume that the system boots or you wouldn't be able to check the "other components".

The machine boots up garbled in bios and every screen thereafter, I got another card shipped, and exact same problem, tried both the last card and this one in several machines, same problem. Considering I shelled out well over $350 this card is pissing me off. I've adjusted voltage, fsb, multiplier, everything, nothing fixes the problem, it isn't power, I've got a 480W. Has anyone else anywhere run into this problem?

Sure sounds like an incompatibility. Or something in your system damaging the cards. I'm going to assume that you have the card's extra power leads to the right place.
