Zotac GeForce 8800 GT, strange behaviour of video cards? - 2008/03/30 08:30
Hey, I have been battling with a Zotac GeForce 8800 GT in an Abit IX38. I thought I had it figured out by upgrading the power supply to an Antec Quattro 850W. Everything worked well for two days. Then I reset my Ubuntu box and got nothing. I removed my graphics card and replaced it with an ATI Radeon X700 PRO and the machine works well. So at least the expensive stuff was okay. I did manage to put a dint in my mirror P182SE in the excitement.
Now I switched the card to an old Windows machine using an ASUS P5GD2 Deluxe and at least it boots up, however the NVIDIA drivers do not work at all and on the video drivers there are cyan and magenta vertical strips on the screen. It seems to me that there has been some sort of memory corruption. So I wonder if a BIOS flash may fix it or is it better to RMA the product?
For you info, I have overclocked nothing on the machine as I need this unit to be ultra stable, it controls an image processing pipeline. Any advice would be great!
