Hi guys, i've just received my new 4850 and plugged it straight into my pc, it booted up fine and i logged in. Now it was here when my monitor began to blink (screen goes off for a second then back on), i've also noticed that with more windows open, the blinking happens much more frequently and also, the higher the resolution (800x600 now) the more it blinks.
I couldn't install the drivers off the CD i was given as it kept on either crashing or just taking forever to finish the last bit of the install cd (CCC), i left it for 5 minutes and saw no progress so i cancelled the install via cntrl alt delete and downloaded the drivers online + CCC.
After much deliberation (due to the blinking screen), i finally got the drivers installed and rebooted my pc, the drivers seemed to be installed perfectly and show up fine on the device manager (although it did show some (!'s) next to a PCI Input device ~ not sure what this means?)
I'm not sure what to do, is it a dead monitor or have i damaged my new GPU somehow?
Any help or advice would really be appreciated guys, thanks a lot!
