i bought an 8800GTX made by XFX and i put it in my rig, everything worked fine, i really like the card! now my screen wont turn on, everything else works, someone said its the mobo so i go out and by XFx 680i LT and it still turns on but no screen, so then now i know its the GPU 8800GTX i tried a 7600GT and it booted up screen no problem, i was wondering if they would send me a new card, the card is almost brand new why would it just stop working,





i just sent XFX a ticket asking if they can replace my card, do you think ill have any luck? iv never dealed with XFX only evga so idk what to expect someone help ;/

and if they will help you think ill get a different card back?
 
considering XFX has a lifetime warranty i would think they would replace your card w/o much of a hassle. unless you did something to void your warranty (which is pretty hard to do, since XFX is mod/OC friendly for the most part), you should be good to go...that is, as long as you registered your card within the 30 day period.
 
Try another power supply if you have one laying around. I had the exact same problem with my BFG 8800GTX. Machine powered on booted into windows everything spun up the way it was supposed to but no video. You could also try booting into safe mode to see if you get video then.
 
Nothing to worry about, man. They'll take care if you if it does in fact turn out to be the card.

what exactly did you do to fix that?
 
Have you tried unplugging the screen? I don't know what kind of monitor you use but every once in a while my lcd won't turn on no matter what, just says no signal. I unplug it(from the comp and power) wait thirty seconds and then plug it back in and it has worked all three times I've had that happen in the last 2 years.

*edit* oh i didn't see your other thread.... whats that about two threads. I see you have already tried other monitors which would cause you to have unplugged.
 
srry the other thread is to see if ican test to make sure it still works. or doesnt work
 
Actually, XFX doesnt have a 30 days to register policy like evga. I had a 6800xt which I had purchased about a year ago, and I registered it about 6 months after I purchased it. Everything went through fine, and its still running strong in my backup machine. ;)

How do I get it?
All you have to do is purchase an XFX Graphics Card and register the product within 30 days of purchase to activate your Lifetime Protection.

To qualify, any 6 Series or greater Graphics Card purchased on or after April 17, 2007 must be registered within the first 30 days of purchase or the protection for the card will be limited to 1 year.
