i all,

I'd appreciate any feedback you can give on this.

Recently my MSI 6800GTO stopped working and when rebooting my PC I can hear "SYSTEM FAILURE ON VGA TEST" so I bought a new GFX card MSI 7900GTO which got good reviews.

Now the PC boots etc and no visual glitches. But I get the BLUE SCREEN with an error and the pc reboots. AFTER that, my sound card does not work out of BIOS. I have to remove the gfx card, switch on, switch off, reinstall gfx card and boot again.

it just seems that there is a problem with either the Mobo or gfx card. the motherboard has seem better days...

any suggestions as to what to do? I have the latest bio and drivers etc. just seems that maybe something fragged on the system and blew up my gfx card. maybe the mobo is at fault?

any suggestions welcome

what are your system specs? the more detailed, the better. Also, run memtest like thrawn suggested.
 
hi guys thanks for replies

i have narrowed it down to my build in sound card. i disabled it it bios and now no problems. is it common for things like that to cause problems? i will now have to get a pci sound card or new mobo (its asus sli and had nothing but problems with it!)

If your board''s a source of chronic problems and is still in warantee I'd advise RMAing it for replacement. While everyone has an occasional problem the odds of getting a 2nd bad ASUS board is very low.
