UserMan posted:My video card(x1600) just peaked in temperature at 110C, I opened the PC case and used an air can to spray all the dust and now it runs a lot better, but should I be concerned that it was damaged? You should stress it with some heavy-graphic stuff like 3DMark, or games like Crysis or Call of Duty 4 and others. Check it's idle and stress temperature, see if you get artifacts when it's stressed, if no artifacts or any strange black screens or restarts then you're fine. And an ATI question for ya'll: I'm using x800 with catalyst 8.1 (everything above shows me a black screen in Warcraft 3) I've checked the event viewer and it's showing shitload of this error: the source is ati2mtag, and the error message is CRT invalid display type. Any idea how can I solve this crap ? Lowdez fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Jul 20, 2008 |

faarcyde posted:OK so I installed a new ASUS nvidia 9600 gt video card today. i plug it in. i load windows. it installs some drivers. nothing really looks different than when i had onboard video so i go to display adapters. it recognizes the card but says i need to restart for everything to work properly. i restart. i hear the little vista jingle but windows doesn't load, just a black screen. only way i can load windows is via safe mode? Boot into safe mode, uninstall your current drivers, then run driver cleaner (or anything that does the similar effect), then boot into windows again and install nvidia's newest drivers (177.xx), restart and everything should be fine. Also - make sure you've disabled your onboard when using the 9600. You can use this cleaner: http://downloads.guru3d.com/Guru3D---Driver-Sweeper-(Setup)-download-1655.html

Maybe. Try to reset it's CMOS, you know when it will beep like crazy.
