[SOLVED] New video card shows artifacts

Gambit480 · 06-18-2009, 05:48 PM

Hi,
I just installed my new xfx 4850 and after turning it on it shows artifacts. Is there a problem with the new video card??

Hello,

Post the specs of your system.

List the make/model of the PSU including wattage.

Gambit480 · 06-18-2009, 06:03 PM

Its a HP Pavillion m7750n
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+

Everything is still the same except that i put a new psu, which is a corsair 550w.

What are the GPU temps?

I downloaded the app. and tried it again but, I cant even boot up. It just keep going to BSOD after booting it up... I guess it is the gpu????

can you get into safe mode to turn the auto reboot off

turn off the auto reboot
control panel /system/advanced/startup and recovery settings
then untick the auto reboot box
post any bsod error messages the computer freezes on in full

what video were you using before

You can try your new graphic card on some other PC just to check if everything is ok with graphic card...

what are you running
video card
cpu

check the listings in the bios for voltages and temperatures and post them

the new card looks suspect did you clean the nvidia drivers from the system before installing the ati

Gambit480 · 06-19-2009, 06:52 PM

I removed the old nvidia driver before installing the ati driver.

Should i replace it or refund it?? Is my powersupply strong enough for the Radeon HD 4850? If not, what vga should i get? Thanks

dai · 06-21-2009, 08:21 PM

the psu should run it provided it is not o/clocked
i would be running a 650w with it

Video card quick list
