A few months ago, my old 6800GT agp burnt out, so i decided to go looking for a new one, and i bought one from a guy i knew off a forum i browse for a $65 XFX 6800GT(he said he tried it before he shipped and it worked).
Well i plugged it in, and i get this insane artifacting, like, can barely see the screen artifacts(mostly dots and whatnot on the bios screens). It usually runs 10-15 seconds on the desktop then the computer crashes.
Well, the guy doesnt seem to want to take it back, and its been a while, so i doubt that ebay will help me.
As a last resort kind of thing, i was wondering what you guys thought of this issue, is it dead, overheating issue, etc.
As it stands right now, I'm using an FX5500pci(that just so happens to crash during directX games)
(on a side note, my old 6800gt got up in the high 90's under load)
