Bull - AFK for a few days

BullSat Mar 24, 2012 8:35 pm

So turns out it has nothing to do with my graphics, well not really. Did some trouble shooting and found that the powersupply is bad. My 12 volt rail is fluctuating quite a bit, and with the instability of the latest NVidia drivers it just set it on a downward spiral. I have a new ps on order and I will install it as soon as I get it. It also messed up the motherboard so I need to get some new drivers installed but I'm going to play it safe until the new ps gets in. I should hopefully be back in a few days but only time will tell!

So I took it in cuz I dont have all the right tools to do all the diagnosis on it, and since I bought it from Best Buy they agreed to look over the card and power supply. After having the computer at the local best buy for only 45 minutes they just called and told me that it turns out the card I bought had be recertified, and I didnt even know it! So best buy just said they were going to replace the card free of charge with a brand new one, identical in nature. Great news! And turns out the fluctuation was due to the voltage being incorrectly grounded. They are finishing up so I should be back online tomorrow!

Eek, good thing I just called them back, they told me they were going to replace it with not the EVGA I had, and turns out they were going to replace my superclocked withe 1gb instead! Ugh!
