Possibly a Dead 8800GTS?

Last response: in Graphics & Displays

I have a 8800GTS G92 and I haven't been up keeping my desktop very well over the past few months but, recently I installed Windows 7 and about 2 weeks later my computer started to blue screen. Occasionally I can get it to boot into Windows but it will blue screen shortly after or will not even load Windows and perpetually reboot itself in a cycle.

I thought it might have been something to do with the OS so I tried reformatting it but I get a blue screen mid install or a just a blank screen.

I'm thinking my Video Card may have taken a dump, but I registered the card with EVGA and my card is an A3 model so I'm going to RMA it. Assuming it's my video card, what card would they replace it with?

Thanks!

Good call! I'll try that. These days, I mostly use my desktop so I've been really lazy about troubleshooting my machine since I'm not in a dying need to use this computer.

But I was mostly just curious about what card they would give me if it was the Video Card.

If it is the card and you do an RMA the 9800GTX+ and GTS250 are closest to it in performance.

No its the VRAM, its gone, the card also artifacts in heavy load. By downclocking both to 550 MHz on the core, they run stably enough that I get slightly more performance than a single 8800 GTS 512mb, but I don't expect that to last.

ONLY IF YOU CAN'T RMA.

But yes he is right, this is a legitimate last resort to get the card working. It will melt the solder, and when cooled reform it into a (hopefully) working connection.
