Hi guys,
ASROCK Z77 extreme 6 mobo
I7 sandy bridge 1150 " 3,4Ghz
Corsair 600W PSU
8GB Kingston RAM
1TB WD SATA HDD
ATI Radeon HD6800 video card
Bit of a problem here. My system worked fine, untill last sunday, when I had Catalyst telling me it's time to upgrade drivers. Ofcourse, I do so. Next thing you know, during installation my screen goes white and freezes (Keyboard lights didnt respond, froze for over10 minutes, after which I rebooted the PC in panic)
Upon rebooting, the screen displayed weird blue vertical lines at first, after which a BSOD set in, saying "attempting to reset display driver and recover from timeout failed", continueing to reboot infinately.
Now, eversince I have not gotten my videocard to work. I figured out that I had to go through this step by step, so:
Took out the VGA cable from the DVI slot and checked to see mobo graphics worked: Check, they did.
Rerolled the AMD drivers to last version to no avail.
Did a complete uninstall with UDD.
Cleared CMOS
Then, things got a little better, but still it's not working. When I have my GPU plugged in (With the 6x connectors in mind you), the PC boots, no more BSOD's, but there is no display. I heard Windows booting up, but I couldn't see it.
After this I got frustrated and decided to completely reinstall Windows with a format C: to rule out any software-related issues. But still, my monitor only says "No display" when I have the vidcard properly connected.
Tried:
Checking my RAM sticks one by one (didn't work)
Completely unplugged and reinstalled my system (didn't work)
I am afraid that my GPU simply...died
Do you guys have any other idea's that might work? I'm scared that my only option now is to cough up some 200 euros to get me a new card. Thanks in advance!
