New graphics card

[Borntobe]

Hi, I need help with a new graphics card that I installed. I prepared myself to play Diablo 3 so I bought a new graphics card, which is a HD 6750 and the first day, it worked during 1 hour and it crashed. The next day, it worked 1¼hour and it crashed (The first crashes were black screen, then vertical lines black and red ou black and blue). Then, I realized I should do something, so I changed the power supply and I added a 120mm fan to the case, but now, it crashes after only 5 seconds of playing (The two last crashes were only a signal loss by the screen).


My computer setup:

P5KPL-CM mobo
Intel Duo E7400 CPU
RG530-S12 530w Rosewill Green series PSU
VisionTek AMD Radeon HD 6750 GPU
2GB of RAM
Vista Home Premium 32-bit
1x 80mm intake front fan
1x 120mm exaust back fan

Screen is 1920x1080

What could be the problem and is there any way to make it work?

Thanks for your future answers,

Have you updated your AMD drivers? Also, is the card properly seated or installed into the PCI-E slot?

Is the auxillary power cable plugged in? Have you checked temperatures?

My drivers are up to date, and I reinstalled the card today and verified if it was in place, the auxillary power cable is plugged in and it doesn't have time to heat since it only runs 4-5 seconds before crashing.

Thanks for trying to help guys

If the drivers are up to date, can you try it in another computer to see if it is a bad card?

I can't try the card in another rig, but is there any other way to see if it is the card?


P.S. I can play CS 1.6, even though it doesn't need much to work.

Trying it in another computer will proof either a bad card or something else wrong with yours. You can as well request an RMA and hope for the best.

OP seems to have sufficient cooling

Have you tried another PCI-E slot, not the one it is currently in.

If that doesn't work, I'd suggest what rolli59 is suggesting.

I only have 1 PCI-E Slot, so I'll request an RMA and see what it gives.

Thanks for your answers
