Hi all,

this one has baffled me for (and i'm not kidding here!) over a year now ...

I've got an Asus V9999GT that has been out of use after 3 months. It was working fine, all singing, all dancing, back when i bought it. Then one day, i changed my case and a couple other things ... and fired it back up and the answer was blankness! The computer just didnt like it; The screen did not turn on, yet the PC posted (or at least i think so ... single beep and whirring noises as per usual... lol) ... So i tried it in another computer ... same problem. And another ... Same problem. Now I never sent it back because i was pushing it through a 350 watt power supply on all three of those pcs ... and as far as i could recall, the original one was a 450w.

I tried to RMA the card, but ebuyer said they didnt accept the card (three months after buying the damn thing!) and that asus handled the warrenty direct. Noobs. So since then its sat in my cupboard and i ended up just upgrading to PCI-e and got myself a gecube X800XL 512mb. And THAT runs on a 350w psu ABSOLUTELY FINE.

So my question is ... Shall i try to send the card back to Asus ... should i bother to buy a power supply in the hope that it may suddenly work? Or could it be more drastic ... such as the fact that the card is dead? Any ideas would be grand.

thanks.

Oh I know. I had the same problem with my ASUS b6666GTO, rediculous, just rediculous 8O

geez ... you'd think that the name of the card would be the least of people's worries ...

Its Asus's verstion of the Nvidia 6800 GT ... Nothing fancy about it; its just a 256mb card that does the same job as all the rest. I just tried firing it up in two computers today, both computers posted, yet no image was displayed on the screen. I tried the DVI, the standard and the TV connections to the monitor ... none worked.

If you're wondering how i know the computer is definitely posting if i cant SEE it posting ... The Abit board is emitting the correct beeps and my old Asus A7V board has voice functions for the bios and says "Now booting from operating system" ... So i am completely lost. It just seems weird that the card can work ... yet there is no video output. I've just never come across that before.

I can only see it being the PSU (always been either 300w or 350w standards) or perhaps just a weirdly messed up card.

Any "intelligent" ideas would be appreciated.

I'm thinkin' a main to the ports are fried.
Surely not you PSU. It's posting and loading without the bios stopping it.
Monitor work with other PC's or videocards?

My v1856vtv 252mb 212bit does that too :wink: Sorry man, couldn't resist. Your gonna have a lotta people going :?:

No more jokes about the name :x

Well i guess if its gone all mushy in the brain, i'll have to send it back home to the world of Asus ... who i'm sure will tell me that there is some reason why it cannot be fixed and then ignore me till the 3 year warranty is up! Yeah monitor works fine ... its a Dell CRT trinitron 21" ... and i have a cheap HannsG 19" tft ... they are running off my 9600 at the moment

Thats cool. Must be a reverbed version of a 6800GT. Stylin.
Good thing theres a 3 year warranty :?

Reply to blacken

Yeah three years warranties dont really count for much these days tho. It just means you have three years of tormenting replies until the warranty runs out! Anyway, i'll just get onto Asus tomorrow ...

I only reason why i thought it may be the PSU is because my card requires two molex connectors to run ... If i plug just one in, it lets off this alarm to say that the other isnt plugged in ... I admittedly played about with it after i could see it wasnt working ... lol. Oh and if i plug both in from the same cable (as in the two molex connectors on the cable coming from the PSU) rather than two seperate cables ... again, same alarm. My x800 just works off one molex and my old 9600 doesnt need any ... In a nutshell ... It seems pretty power dependant.

I'll probably end up curing my curiosity by getting a better PSU ... I've just never found any need. I only play games, never overclock and never really push the res ... And hardly ever use the dvdrw. So not really much point in spending 70 quid on a nice psu!

I'll check back tomorrow, i'm off to bed. Thanks for the advice Blacken .. even if you were still being sarc, it still sounds good :lol:
