System
AMD Athlon 64 3400+
1Gig DDR RAM
Geforce FX 5700 ultra
X2-120GIG HD
Windows XP home edition
-------------------------
Im pretty certain I have killed my geforce fx 5700 ultra but just wanted more knowledgeable peoples opinions so here goes..
My card was over clocked by a plug-in that works with the nvidia properties manager. I had only clocked it to the "recommended" settings and all has been well since (about a week). However today after playing CSS for many an hour up until now. the screen froze and these lines vertical lines(|||) appeared randomly over the screen.
On restarting in the boot sequence the lines were there still! and once windows is about to start (after showing windows logo ) the monitor looses the signal displaying a message that no signal is being detected.
My comp is able to get to windows safe mode where i uninstalled the card and reinstalled after restart. But results in the same problem.
I have tried using another monitor resulting in the same problems and also using a different gfx card (so I know it isnt my mother brd) that works fine.
I think its dead and I may just have to cry. any advice would be greatly appreciated
if it is knackered. Any gfx card recommendations would be swell thanks. (haven’t made a budget yet but over 200quid I imagine ill have to spend to get anything good)
