My BFG GeForce 275 GTX freezes while the OS loading screen is up. The logo stops animating and the top line shows various white pixels.

It boots into Safe mode just fine, and it loads up properly before any drivers are installed (of course, no games are playable.)

As you know, BFG is no longer in business so a return is a no-go. I was wondering if anybody knew if I'd be able to fix it through a program somehow, or alter it so that it will work. Tall order, I know. I have to wait a week or so before I'll be able to afford another card, and it'd be nice to see if I could just get this one running anyway (knew knowledge, fun in general.)

(I've tried it in a couple of rigs and it does the same thing, so the problem is with the card itself, most likely)
