I sold a graphics card but its been returned back to me faulty, I can't work out whats wrong with it. The PC starts no problem, the cards shows in GPUZ and I even ran some benchmarks using MSI and Furmark and it causes no problems. The problem is when I start any game the system crashes almost instantly, screen goes black monitor turns off and PC is unresponsive, what is going on?
Need some help again!

Registered 2 years ago@X201 Under load on Furmark its reading 65c which is good, its just when I start a game the logo screen appears and then the PC crashes. -

Registered 4 years agoDust on the fans has increased power draw from the PSU.
Nah, the only thing I can think of is the dude on the other end tried to softmod it.
It was a 6950 right? -

Registered 7 years agoYep he probably fucked up trying to flash the BIOS and now wants his money back. Tell him to fuck off. -

Registered 6 years agoI'm beginning to think you're in love with vizzini and that these threads are to entice him. Just PM him your mobile# and be done with.
Also, you've had a thread full of warnings about power-usage and you go running furmark? You want vizzini badly. You're begging for him. -

Registered 4 years agoThere's got to be a way to read out the current firmware.
Google 6950 softmod and see what you can find. -

The vizzini bit was quite obviously a joke, but maybe vizzini's advice is entirely appropriate for you.Bremenacht wrote:

The furmark bit was serious. You said you were running Prime95 in the other thread too. Ever run them both at the same time? I wonder if your problems are self-inflicted, and you're wasting other people's time. -

Registered 2 years ago@Bremenacht Are you feeling ok? If you read what I wrote you would know this had nothing to do with me. I ran those programs to test the card to see if it was working, because as I stated no game will start with this graphics card. -

You've plugged the extra power into the GPU right?

Registered 11 years agoHi chaps - I've said it before and I'll say it again - I love PCs but I'm bloody useless at fixing/upgrading etc.
I'm currently trying to help set up a computer for a local charity shop. The computer itself was a donation - Windows XP (with the disc) and all freshly installed.
I simply swapped over desktops, as their old one had gone wrong - but I can not get any kind of internet connection - even though I've got it connected in exactly the same way as the old machine (ethernet).
I'm guessing it's a problem with the drivers - but there are no bloody driver discs. Unfortunately, no internet connection means that I can not go online to download/update.
Any ideas? -

Registered 9 years agoDoes the Ethernet box limit access to certain ip/mac addresses?
If the network card is seperate to the motherboard it may need drivers, if there's an Ethernet port in the motherboard try that! I can't imagine it wouldn't be motherboard but worth a check -

Registered 6 years agoYou could do an ipconfig /all from a DOS prompt. That might give some clues as to what's happening. -
If you can boot the old machine, have a look to see if it has the IP set to manual. If so, just copy the info on the new box.a
