Specs in sigs.. bought a new PSU to replace older Antec, same problem! Primed95 overnight memtest everything is fine.


I get checkboard pattern in 3d mode... and vpu recovery for my X1900xt pops up... or if I turn it off, the checkboard still there.. Atitool test crashes in minutes.

Bad card? Or is there something I am missing? I am about to RMA my X1900xt after christmas is over...
 
sounds like corrupted textures, if you reboot without any vid card overclock does it still do it?
ussually that is cause by over doing it on the memory or GPU or both.
If you aren't overclocking try a few different drivers for the card, including the omega's from www.omegadrivers.net

on a side note I see you are running an nforce 4 chipset, not sure what your memory tras is running at but a choice of 7-8 gives best performance with that chipset.
 
tras is on 8 I think.. and I will try the omegas. thanks a lot.
 
you can dl older version of them too trying them till one works, I wouldn't try more than like 5 though. If none of them work then yes you have a bad card and should RMA.
 
I tried the latest from Omega and it worked like a charm?

Now I dont understand why the lastest ati official one does this.
 
I think I fixed it.. been working for the last couple days after I reflashed the bios to an Ati one.
