I just installed my new hd4850 palit radeon card when I boot it up horizontal red lines come across the screen(even in bios)they are not static and sometimes dots appear all over the screen too.. i reinstall my old card and all is fine again??anyone have any ideas as to what this could mean.. Oh as a side note my power supply "750w" really 500w has two 6-pin pci-e connectors the card has an 8-pin but came with a 6-8 converter and thats what im using

Feel free to donate one :P.. My faulty card is a sonic edition i was thinking it could have been an overheating issue.. it came faulty out of the box but it was a display card in the shop apparently. lucky they have a DoA warranty but the pain of sending it and waiting is torture.

what brand of PSU on your system?
better use a good one if u don't want frying the other components on your case...
and maybe i suggest get a vga with better cooling device, like HIS's IceQ.... :)

genric psu.. I got a good feeling about it though.. yeah the card is a palit one sonic edition so factory overclocked with pretty decent cooling. going to return it in the next few days... the place i got it from is pretty strict when it comes to returning stuff..
