Thanks in advance

My Graphics card stared crapping out on me. it would not respond to the moitor occationally. Then I got a Page Fault and then nothing came up no matter how any times i rebooted. so i switched to on board video. it works but Windows 7 wont get any farther in the booting process than the flashy windows logo. I have tried noumerous things, clearing COMS, taking out the Graphics card then putting it back in, start up repair, removing ram sticks Ect. but to no avail.

So can anyone help me?
Again! Thanks in advance

fgfg9

Please..... Anyone?

Niram

it's either graphic totally dead, psu weak and caused problems with graphic card orrrr... yeah, that would be about all what I think on this matter

fgfg9

ya but the fan still spins on the GPU and the only two new things i have done are changing the case and installing windows 7 so that couldnt of overloaded a 700 watt psu

fgfg9

alright i made alittle progress in switching my XFX 9600 GSO with my brothers BFG GTS 250. my computer booted with the new graphics card with no problem. Sadly the BFG GTS 250 covers the sata ports so its not possible to see if i have fixed the problem of windows 7 not booting

fgfg9

I wonder if this means my Graphics card is dead or its some kind of driver conflict beacuse the fan is still spinning any thoughs? anybody? ......God Im so lonely

Try a right angle connector on the sata cable. The big cards often cover ports. I've got one under the GTX285 with no problems. Still leaves 4 sata ports in the open, the card blocks all of the ports?

fgfg9

very last one is blocked. they're all lined up right behind the PCIe slot.... what a desing flaw. thanks for helping me out im really at a road block here

Sounds like the 9600, I'd contact the manufacturer and rma it. The fan spinning on the card is like the green light on the motherboard, means power is getting to the fan, not that everything is good on the card.
Have you tried the card in another computer? That'll let you know.

And just when we though this was coming to an end... my 9600 WORKS in my brother computer... this isnt getting any simpler

Interesting quote from jonnyGURU about that psu.

Not a good sign. Since your brother seems to be in a lending mood, why not try his psu as well.

fgfg9

sweet thanks never knew psu could crap out on you over time sadly i dont have my brothers computer in reach (he's in canada im in us) so until i can borow one from my neighbor tommorow is there any other information you need? and another thing im a bit confused about is that my brothers BFG GTS 250 is a card requireing more power isint it?

dai

yes it does but in combination with the other components they would both run on the quality 550w with the correct amp output

fgfg9

so do you think my page fault error is related to this?

dai

under power can cause corruption when something requires power that is not there

after fitting he supply you may need to do some fixing

fgfg9

Thanks but I have bad news. I found a rocketfish 700watt psu along with several older PSUs. I tried testing it on my PC and the fans and lights spun for about 1 second then it shut down again this happen for a little bit until i was able to boot up but still nothing on the screen could this be yet another failed PSU or is my CPU and/Or Mobo acting up. I am going to my nebours to ask for a power supply right now... I'll report back soon enough. thanks alot

Just bought an Antec 650watt psu pluged it in and booted. I quickly shut it down in relife to plug all the cables back in and start playing TF2 then on boot nothing.. i boot from the onboard and it works then restarts so im back to where i started aside from noicing 4 cliks from my hdd when i boted fron the onboard viedio... how can i test my mobo?

I have been doing my reserch and people have been talking about MBRs. Tere where 2 or 3 virus warnings on my computer before i shut down.. is it really just an MBR? have i over thought this?

dai

if it was the mbr you would get a message on screen

start from square one

make sure you have the aux power plug plugged into the m/b

boot from the onboard
in the device manager disable the onboard
if the card is listed uninstall it
turn the computer off
install the card
change the video cable from the onboard to the card
reboot into the bios
check to see if you can disable the onboard in there and set it to detect pcie first
save and exit the bios tapping f8 and choose low resolution mode
when windows finishes booting
disable a/virus
install your drivers for the card
reboot the computer

if no good

set it up out of the case on a piece of cardboard with
cpu
video
ram
speaker
and see if you get post
check you have the correct amount of standoffs no more no less
that they line up with the holes in the m/board
usually 9

what model antec
we no longer recommend antec psu's
