rigm0r Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Hi! I bought a vx450 some years ago but in the last months i've been having some troubles with it. No matter what i do, i can't get display from the 8800gt! Only the built in vga works. I tried these things: Selected pci-e as default graphicsUsed an adaptor from 2 12v contacts (?) instead of the pci-e cordTried other RAM'sTried starting outside the caseReplaced the MoBoTried starting with just 1 memory stickTried starting without the HDDUpdated MoBo biosDid a CMOS reset I tried the graphics card in another system and got display. I think i feel some heat from the 8800gt when the system is powered up. It's hard to feel since i have great passive cooling on it. Could it be the power supply? As you read before, everything else is tested except the CPU. The system works perfectly except the 8800gt so it couldn't be the CPU... Any ideas? /Rigm0r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 28, 2010 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 28, 2010 The only way to rule the PSU out for sure would be to test it in a different system. It sounds more likely to me that it could be an issue with the PCIE slot on the board, but if all else fails and it looks like replacing the PSU might resolve the issues then go ahead and Request an RMA.
