Hi guys,
I have a new Gainward 4870x2 and I can only get it to work in Windows (64b) safemode.
Does this mean the card is working or do gfx in safemode not need the gpu to work?
I was wondering if it was a hardware of driver or other problem...
The fan works and exhausts hot air as expected so that seems like a good sign.
I have a 1000W PSU with a 6 and 8 pins cable connected.
If I startup normally my screen goes black after the initial boot screens just before the windows sign should become visible.
I updated the bios of my Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3L (F9) and installed th lastest catalyst 9.8 drivers for vista 64 but nothing helps.
In safemode all the drivers seem correctly installed and no problems are mentioned...
I've been triyng everything I could think of the last few days and even reinstalled windows a couple of times :-(
The card was bought online so it's not as easy to bring it back and talk to someone at a store.
Any input would be grately appreciated.
