Crucial Radeon X1900 XTX but facing PC issues after cleaning? - 2009/11/10 02:56
Hello, I have a Dell Dimension 8400 with a Crucial Radeon X1900 XTX graphics card. It was overheating a lot even with the cards fan set to max with an idle temp of +75°C with even higher in game temps. I decided to give the card a cleaning, I took off the fan and used a can of compressed air to dust it out, put back on the fan, put back in the card and I got errors. First the PC started with memory errors which I fixed by reseating the memory after which no more beeps came up and resumed as normal.
My diagnostic lights show amber which the manual says this combination is another error has occured, and to check connections to hard drives, CD, DVD, etc. The monitor shows a black screen with white writing the identification of the graphics card. I have triple checked memory, hard drives and cables. I have reseated the video card several times. Other detail, there is no smoke, funny smell or other noises. The PC just hangs at that screen of the graphics card.
On the card as soon as I turn on the system I see two red lights near the socket to plug in the power for the card, they flash red once. I don't know if that means anything special. Is a flash required, though I did no previous flashing. I have been looking for a BIOS for a Crucial version but I couldn't find one. If someone can direct me to one just incase I need it. Will another BIOS's work from another manufacturer? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
