Cross post from MoBo forum.
I am using an Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe and was previously using a 7800GTX video card.
I left the machine on overnight with the screen off and upon coming back to the machine in the morning, I had no video post.
I RMA'd the 7800GTX in hopes that was the issue.
Before I realized my 7800GTX was still under warranty (Thank you EVGA) I ordered a 7900GTO to take over.
I put the GTO in and the video was back up, but within 30 seconds of the desktop showing up, I got all these weird artifacts on the screen. Called up EVGA technical and they suggested the Power Supply or the MOBO.
SOoOOo.. I RMA'd my PC Power & Cooling 510 Turbo Cool SLi..
Before that was out on RMA - I slapped in my ATI X300 video card (it requires no external power supply) and it worked fine, so I knew (thought) it HAD to be the power supply going bad on the PCI-E.
So I got my BRAND NEW power supply from PC Power & Cooling (thank you to them also)
Rebuilt the whole computer basically - and put the GTO in... SAME artifacts then screen goes black. (Computer stays running except video)
I put the X300 back in and everything seems normal again.
Is there a way I can test this setup to see if it is the MOBO or not?
I don't want to go through each peice of my hardware and RMA them.
Thanks.
