What to do with my X1800?
Hi again all,
I am nearly completely fed up with the problem that I had in this thread as I still have the problem and I don't know what else to try - I've tested the system with prime/memtest for ages without even a single hiccup.
I've tried raising a ticket to ATI and they've just said to check my drivers which I've done continuously for two months, I have yet to see what else they can suggest.
If I had know it would take this long to get my computer resembling anything near stable then I would've built a conroe system instead :lol: As it stands I spent quite a lot of money on something that doesn't work :(
I bought the X1800 second hand, although I do have the original receipt for it (in someone else's name) and also, as the problem is quite intermittent, it's really hard to pin down so if I did RMA it, I would probably get the card straight back (it was bought from the famous Overclockers UK).
So I don't know what else to do! Do I buy another PCI-E X1800 on the chance that it would work, and sell the other one in the hope that someone else would have better luck with it? The same goes for the motherboard... although being prime stable it should be ok right?
It is a real shame but I am afraid whilst I don't have many friends, none of them has anything like a PCI-E system that I could test it on.
I haven't a clue what to do, so I was hoping that the great minds on this forum could dispense a little knowledge for me - any input will surely be appreciated.
