Hi all....just building a new rig:
GA-P35C-DS3R
Crucial Ballistix 800 2g
EVGA 8800GTS 640mb
WD 500gb SATAII
Antec TrioPower 550
Tuniq 120 CPU cooler
installed dual boot OS (Win XP Pro and Vista). After installing OS, I installed graphics drivers from the EVGA CD in Vista. After it installed the drivers, it asked for a reboot. I click reboot, and the machine went into a perpetual cycle of powering for 3-5 sec, then rebooting, off and on, off and on, no POST. The GPU fan does not spin during these few seconds of power on. I cleared the CMOS, still no luck. Is it a dead card ? is there anything that I can do to revive it? thanks!!
