Hi there all,

I have an ASUS M2N-Sli Deluxe mother board with a AMD Athalon 62 x2 (Dual Core) 2800Mhz 5600+ Cpu, With Nvidia nForce 570 SLI MCP Chipset and 2x nVidia 8600 GT 256RAM. I have been using this set up for over 2 years.

Just last week the fans on my Graphics cards over heated and kinda melted for no reason, I wasnt watching a movie nor was i playing a game. Due the fan on the GPU melting i orders some new ones ie NorthQ (NQ-3860A). The fans work fine and are keepint the GPU cool enough, But i cant detect and of the cards on device manager and i cant change the resolution nor can i load nVidia control panal so i can change the resolution from there and set up the SLI cponnection.

I have also found that with the second GPU When put in the PCI slot comes up with Green lines and a very very unclear picture.


Can any one please help me as i have the computer connected to a 32 inch lcd tv and it hurts my eyes, besides that i cant watch any movies
:(((((

Thanks in advance Hitesh

If the card got so hot, that it melted the fan, i would say the card is not a lot of good.
Have you tried one card at a time ?.

It does sound like at least one of your cards may be dead. I had something similar when I had two 7600GT's in SLi. One of them developed a fault and I had to go back to using a single card.

Have you tried using them one at a time?
