I just bought an Albatross FX5700U, when I install I get these
weird graphics even on the post screen. Im using a msi 845
Ultra-C mb, sb audigy 2, promise 100 tx2. When using
the FX5700 the promise card is not recognised. However
when I switch back to my ti4200 everything is fine. For drivers
I installed the Det 52.14
Ive tried switching around pci slots on all the cards too.
Sorry about the pics, I know they are not great.
Anyone have any suggestions? Is the card bad?

I tried two different molex connectors and unplugged one of my cdroms and hds just to make sure enough power was getting to the card. Still has these blocky graphics appearing all over.
Ill take it back and see if the shop can tell if its a bad card then.

You don't need to take it to a shop to find out if the card is defective. The garbled graphics should be enough to warrant a RMA.
 
Thanks for the help, I just wanted to be sure I didnt overlook anything as Japanese stores are horrible at taking back product.
