GTX 280 will not boot into Windows 7 or Linux using Nvidia drivers, instead I get a plain green or blue screen, sometimes a messy pink screen. It will boot into Windows using a standard Windows driver, after uninstalling the Nvidia driver. (not sure about Linux) It is seated correctly in the PCI-E slot, the CMOS was reset, the power is a top-notch 750W supply, the DVI monitor cable is seated correctly, the PCI-E 6 and 8 pin connectors are seated properly, and all of the motherboard's power connections are solid. I've tried using old driver versions to no avail. Card is fried, eh?
 
Pink Screen of Death. I'm on my 3rd RMA for the GTX 280. You need to do a RMA lol
