Hello, I recently tried to get a fan from thecoolingshop.co.uk, it arrived and I fitted it. This is a letter I sent to them:
Hello, I recently ordered a "Titan Cooler" for my 9800 Pro. The screws
did not fit completely correctly and so that fan did not function
properly. My Radeon 9800 Pro is now permanantly broken and often goes
into strange colours when in windows. I have installed the stock
cooler and it has not corrected the problem. Please can you give me
some advice onto what to do. I can send the Fan to you to show that
the screws do not fit completely. Please get back in touch with my
soon and advise me on what to do, many thanks, Alex
Would these multicoloured screens even after fitting my stock cooler suggest permanent damage? Or would it just suggest temporary overheating, it has happened in windows and in Half Life 2 (the only game I have tried). It crashes with this multicoloured screen for about 5 seconds and then I can use the PC, after it working again I try and scroll through pages and the movement is very jumpy and slow allround. If it is permanatly broken would I get any sort of compensation? I have a shuttle SN45G by the way, please, please can you suggest me onto what I need to do, many thanks, Alex
