Hi all, I hope you can help me with this problem...
I'm running a 6800 GT on an Asus A8V mobo, 1gb geil value, A64 3200+...been working swimmingly for over a year and a bit...suddenly when I started playing HL2 episode 1 today, the screen goes black and it hard crashes. Then refuses to boot, and my mobo says there's a VGA error. So I remove the 6800GT (quite hot), leave it to cool, try again - same error message. I tried it in another computer and it doesn't work, but my 9800 pro boots fine in this.
Anyone have any ideas as to the problem? And if so....would it be better in this situation to just spend £270ish and buy a new PCI-E mobo and 7900GT, as opposed to buying a 7800GS AGP? Thanks...
