Hello,
I have been using a P5W DH DELUXE with ASUS HD2900XT and decided to replace the GPU with a GTX 260 AMP!2. I am aware that my mobo is way too old but as far as I know, it is compatible with PCI-E 2.0 gpu's.
I have removed my old gpu, WITHOUT removing the catalyst drivers, and inserted the new one to the PCIEX16_1 port in my mobo (the port where the old one had been inserted)
When I powered up the pc, the windows booted. I have increased the resolution and stuff. Windows said it found a new hardware and installing the drivers. It asked if i wanted to restart and I clicked ok.
The next thing I saw was a distorted splash screen (the screen where you see your mobo's brand and model and such) which had unusual dots all over it, then the screen where it shows my raid drivers were also distorted. For example, the green "Member Disk" text was not readable and there were green pixels everywhere on the screen.
Windows started and the screen was again, distorted. There were stripes at certain regions of the screen, colors were also weird and no part of the screen seemed ok. I am using the GPU via DVI connection and the problem remained with both DVI ports on the card. The resolution was dropped to 800x600 with no possibility of increasing it. The device manager said the card had a code 43 error: "windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems"
I put back in my old GPU. Everything seemed ok. I removed the catalyst with catalyst cleaning software. I did not install anything and, again, inserted the nvidia. Before it started the windows, the splash screen and everything else were distorted again. Nevertheless, I installed the nvidia drivers that came with the cd. And installed the latest drivers from the Nvidia site when that didn't work. Still no luck. Everything works fine with my old HD2900XT, though.
I am using a Tagan 600W silverpower and it says it has 18A+18A on its two 12V rails. I have two SATAII (or SATA, don't remember well) drivers working in RAID0 and 4GB DDR2 (don't remember its clocks and timings). My OS is Vista 64 and the CPU is E6600.
I don't think this problem is a driver issue since I get the distorted screen even before Windows starts. What are the chances that the device is faulty? Or what are the other possibilites? Thanks a lot...
