I apologize, jif, the rest of that post wasn't meant for you, I was just too lazy to click the right person. Only the first sentence (reposted above) was for you. Anyway, I do tire of it, but I was just trying to prove a point to somebody who just wasn't being reasonable.

These days, it seems like no matter what you like, you're a fanboy.

A little misunderstanding, 😱
That would explain the pictures that you showed me before, hehe.

Yes, the refund is in process, thanks for asking. I’m keeping my figures crossed that I won’t pay any restocking fee. That’s all I can do is hope and maybe a little complaining if they do charge me. Hack, I might buy one of each cards if it will save me $74 bucks.

I already made my mind up, I’m going Nv, and don’t try to stop me, because I’m already haven’t a hard time deciding as it is.

OK. Once again. Its not my powersupply. If it was, would the computer run stably now with my old graphics card in? NO. If it was the wiring, would the big screen TV, my old computer, the other 4 computers in my apartment(2 roommates), etc work? NO! They all work fine. I do have a 2000 joule surge protector. No UPS, yet. Plan to get one once I have some free money to spend. I stuck the card in my old computer and it didn't work either. I just think the card was bad, so its going back. Mailed it out today. As far as the other RMA's go, I don't even know if the motherboards were defective. I just couldn't get them to run stably without getting errors in Windows. I just think I had hardware that was not compatible but after talking with Asus they never told me what it was so I just sent them back and went with the P4 setup. The only thing I know for a matter of fact that was defective was the second RAM RMA. Could the other RAM have been bad, the harddrive, etc, possibly. They just would not work correctly no matter what settings I used.

That's cool. Glad we understand each other.

These days, no matter what company you like, be it <b>nVidia, ATi, or whatever,</b> no matter how logical your reasons, you're labeled an <b>idiot</b> or a <b>fanboy</b>, or <b>both.</b>

Is that your new sig, hehe. Doesn’t Nv stand for idiot, while ATi fanboy? Just seems like a little aggression towards Nv, not only the card, but the people that use them.
Some people will consider an Nv card, while the fanboys try to cram a ATi product down their throat, and if they don’t listen to reason it’s open season on them.

Make sure you have the card fully seated. Maybe take it out and try again. I have had lines or no diplay at all on some cards that where ever so slightly out of the slot. I had a hell of a time getting my 5900 in place and seated, not to mention that is one of the heaviest graphics cards ive seen.
