Vista - ati radeon x1800 serius problem help fast got raid

Hello, i recently fixed my graphic card and now when i put it in the fan goes to max and the screen wont start ive tryed everything someone know whats the problem is? it have worked before :S

Hi thecube......


what exactly did you do in regards to ''fixing the card''..??





SK

i cleaned it from dust just took away from the port and took away the dust not with some tools just blew with my mouth and then put it in again ive done this before and have the same problem but then it started working later now it dont work at all :S
and helo skunksmash

when you put it back in, did you make sure you plugged all relevant cables in their respective places? I've done the same thing where I've not put my 2 PCI-E cables back in the card, It happens.

yea i plugged em in checked it like 4 times :S

Hi & welcome BTW


well it sounds like you've certainly done something to the PCB, or scrambled the video driver..... lets hope the latter is the case.
i dont like the sound of this......

even though you've done this before there's a real chance of actually spitting on it & then it shorts when replaced..

there's obviously no other means for you to test the card elsewhere..?? another machine maybe..??

do you get the post screen..?? can you enter ''safe mode'' at all, if so load to desktop this way, firstly check the device manager lists the card then try to reinstall the driver....

if you cant do that all that's left to do is reseat the card again, if its not GPU driver related, then its gotta be the H/W..

you never know, this may be gods way of telling you the X1800 is nearly as old as he is, & he wants you to upgrade....lol

hehe yea the first thought was like "oh crap now its trashed" becouse like u sad its realy old!...

so can you reach ''safe mode''..??
