Hey there gents,
I've had my computer for about 18 months now (got it from ibuypower)
2.83 quad core on a 780i mobo, 4GB RAM, and a 9800 GX2. A couple months back my video card took a dump and I decided I need to get this thing fixed. I'm running Vista 64 (probably my first problem) and my Display Devices shows 2 Nvidia Geforce 9800 GX2's both have the error symbol on them. In properties it shows that they have the error 43 code. My mobo just went for a nose dive off a cliff tonight, hard power off for no reason, twice. Cleaned out the tower disconnected my video card, air sprayed and reinstalled, same with my RAM. Froze at the boot screen, so I used the Windows disc to repair. Got it working again, and tried reinstalling the original drivers for the mobo and GX2. Nothing tried updating them from the internet, nothing. I'm using the DVI port on my GX2, for some reason the other plug doesn't work, HDMI does though.
If I hadn't paid so much for the thing, I would just launch it off my back deck.
Ideas?
