Ok, so here's the story:
1) I have owned my EVGA 8800GT for 2 years
2) 2 weeks ago, I wake up and turn on my computer to find my video card stopped working. I get these weird spelling errors when I go into BIOS and the res is 640 x 480 in 16 bit color
3) Got a 250GTS from the office and it kinda works on my computer so now I can confirm its the defected 8800GT and not my mobo. So I RMA my 8800GT!
4) Received new 8800GT from EVGA. Insert and it works! I set the res to 1920x1080 and works great, but then a minute later, the card stops working!! The same weird error from my first card is back!
5) Hardforum time............
I attached a nice compilation of screenshots to show you the weird spelling errors in BIOS
Has anyone else ever seen these spelling errors in their BIOS? It's quite bizarre...
I cleared my CMOS (jumper), even removed the CMOS battery overnight, and used another start up driver, even rolled back the 8800GT driver, updated new ones, etc etc....but to no avail. The same weirdness is happening.
Any help? Computer specs in sig is the same setup here Thanks!
