So yesterday I come home from work turn on my PC to be greeted by a pink screen. I reboot same thing. So I decide to try an narrow down the problem, install a new video card driver, nothing. Uninstal the 6850 and run off the onboard 4250 and boom looks perfect. So now I figure its the vid card. So I try a reinstall get pink screen. So now I wipe my HDD, put in a brandnew 500GB made a partition and loaded windows onto it same thing. So after about 6 hours of messing around, my friend says what if its the TV? I turn off the TV and back on works perfect. Lost all that stuff and all that work for nothing.

Wont be any vids for a while and I may be slow responding to help requests until I get my PC back in order, Im stuck using a piece of shite Vaio and HP laptop Evil or Very Mad

That truly sucks man, seems odd that the pic worked for the on board chip but not the card.

I know I was thinking my vid card was dead after only 2 months. I'll gladly take the work of reinstalling all my stuff and 40 billion windows updates over dumping another 300 on a new video card though any day

To some degree, Ive got it working again but I havent figured what the problem is. Im convinced its something to do with my card just because the onboard worked. Its the weirdest thing, when I first boot I get a Gigabyte splash screen thats yellow and blue and its colour stayed the same the whole time, but as soon as Windows started I would get the pink screen.

Im in the process now of reinstalling everything which takes forever I cant believe around 40 inutes to install Res Evil 5. Im hoping to have it done this weekend so I can pump out a video guide for a 360 game and win that case Very Happy

Didnt you say you just spent like 900 bucks on new parts? If all fails shouldn't you be able to then back and get a new pc? I saw one of the touchscreen All in one PCs on TV for about 1k.

Yeah its all under warranty. Just built it like 2 months ago. If I have to I can send the vid card in and get another but that takes 6 to 8 weeks which hookers me unless I buy another. My onboard just doesn't have the juice for vid editing or gaming

I'd get a refund and just order one of these, Dunno if it's the same but this thing has 1TB, 4GB ram DDR3, Touch skin etc...I think those are the specs if I remember right. Only 750 too.

Rest of my tower is fine, its just the card (i think). The big problem with the all in one PCs is youre stuck using a passive cooled card which means bunk as far as dedicated cards go. Plus I hate pre built towers they always stick you with subpar part. Toshiba HDD, or Hynex RAM, etc. If I get the pink screen again Im gonna RMA the card, put my old 4670 in til they ship the replacement

That tower is actualy a rip off, obsolete CPU, integrated graphics. No way Im trading in a Phem2 BE for an athlon Very Happy Thanx for the link though.

Turns out a little piece of the gold plating on my vid cards HDMI port had come loose. Took the card to the wholesaler I got it from and they replaced it no questions asked. I dont know if this is a common issue with Gigabyte Windforce 6850 vid cards but anyone whos got one and gets the pink screen check your HDMI port. Other than that Im quite happy with it, I can jack all my games to absolute max settings and I havent even had to OC it or my CPU yet. Anyone looking for a card better than a 5770 but less than the DC 58/5970 the 6850 is a perfect choice (5850 with higher memoryclock and 256 bit instead of 128). I havent tried Crysis 2 yet on it but it chewed Crysis 1 up like nothing

Good to see your back on track bro and i feel the same about any pre built PC, you pay 40% of the cost for parts and 60% for the name on the tower.

Build your own PC and the parts are better while the cost is lower. Wink
