Powercolor Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB 256bit - 2004/11/26 02:07
Hi all,
I need some help. I bought one of the above mentioned cards from ebay(second hand) and it arrived in its box, with all the extras like cd's, cables etc. Before I put it in my pc, I took off the old heat sink checked it had a R360 core (which it does  ) and stuck a Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer REV3 on it. So I booted it up and what do I see on my screen- a thin line about a quarter of the way down the screen. It goes from one side to the other. Also, in the top right hand part of the screen, it is flickering very slightly.
Could someone tell me whether this has been overclocked and damaged before I got it? If so, should I flash it to an 9800 XT and hope that fixes the problem? I was planning to flash anyway, but now I'm wondering whether it is a good idea.
