| 585285 | 2007-08-28 07:42:00 | Well, you said it sometimes started up fine, so start it enough times that you know it's running fine, but yes, that would lead me to think it's a bad card. But still test the RAM, it can't hurt! The 'crappy old GPU' will work fine with Vista, anything that fits in the PCI-E slot will, it just won't be able to handle the effects like Aero. pctek, SolMiester never said you were an idiot, just that you were wrong. It looks to anyone reading your post that you were talking about the PCI-E connector because that's what you were quoting: "...have PCI-E connectors that are either 6 or 8 pin." So when you say it's not an 8-pin, anyone reading it will assume you're referring to the PCI-E connectors av4tarnz was talking about. The 8-pin connector he's talking about, if it is a PCI-E 8-pin one, will not split into two, and that's all anyone is saying. Obviously you were thinking of the ATX12V connector, which makes you perfectly right, just not about the PCI-E connector. |

| 585287 | 2007-08-29 02:25:00 | Its not an 8 pin. Its 2 4pin joined together. Look closely - you can separate them. So how does that say its his bloody PCIE connector? Because PCTek, you quoted his query regarding the PCIe connectors.....dont make me embarrass you.. |

| 585289 | 2007-08-29 23:35:00 | I bought it from C1 Shopping Mall. They sent me a email saying that my RMA request will be processed within 48 hours. I've never done an RMA before, what happens after I've submitted one? |

| 585290 | 2007-08-29 23:39:00 | I just did a search on C1 on these forums, some people haven't had good experiences when returning items...:( | av4tarnz (5829) | ||
| 585291 | 2007-08-30 00:13:00 | I just did a search on C1 on these forums, some people haven't had good experiences when returning items...:( They're very slow, but if the part is genuinely broken they generally replace it. I wouldn't be certain in your case, your testing process hasn't exactly been thorough. |

| 585292 | 2007-08-30 04:58:00 | If he explains that the card doesn't work in multiple computers that should be OK. I would have tested it much further if I was you. I just read www.c1com.co.nz - it's a great laugh! They don't charge a fee if they find it to be not faulty (which is great for you), but you'll have to pay the shipping for them to send it back. |

| 585293 | 2007-08-30 05:53:00 | I'd be keen to do further testing to be absolutely certain of what's wrong but I don't have the equipment... | av4tarnz (5829) | ||
| 585294 | 2007-08-30 07:08:00 | The first thing to do is the memory test. It's a simple download and no equipement is needed. Bad memory can have very confusing and illogical symptoms, and it's very important that you rule it out. |
