I have a BFG 7800GS O/C which was running fine for a year up to about a month ago, I basicly shutdown my computer and when i went to turn it back on it has a blankscreen and the monitor stays in 'standby mode'. After a few calls/emails to BFG I ended up doing a RMA but when I got the new card back it does the samething.


Ok and heres the real effing kicker....I tried BOTH cards in a older/slower PC with like a 350W powersupply and the sh*t WORKED! but it will not work in my main one.

powersupply = 450W 12v rail barely meets the req. at 20a

just using a old Radeon 9200SE right now, but I was planning on freshing up my computer this week but thought I'd see if anyone had any ideas on the problem first.


thanks

Well if it were the motherboard wouldnt any other AGP card fail? I've used 2 different AGP cards and they both work fine, and like I said im using the computer right now with the 9200 in it. :confused:
 
try resetting cmos? you can use the jumper or take the battery out for a while or go to defaults with the other gfx card.. prob wont work but worth a shot

I thought about that too, reset it about an hour ago and tried it and still nothing. :(

tried a few tweaks like turning AGP F/W off and the aperture(sp?) to 256. nothing :(

Maybe I should just give up on this damn card. I've heard horror stories about BFG and problematic cards....just never thought I'd be so unlucky to get one. :mad:
 
so u have 2 BFG video cards one that was working fine and a new one that doesn´t ? what are the chances of that

don't know what the chances are, but what I do know is its a real pain in the ass and don't think im gonna be buying from them in the future.
