Hello,
In first, sorry for my bad english, but i'm french...
[My computer is:
ECS motherboard K7S5A (with SiS 735 Chip)
An 1800+ Athlon XP
512 of DDR-RAM (OK, TESTED with memtest 86+)
AN 400W "Hiper" power supply
ONE 20.Go Quantum HardDrive
AND a famous 9800Pro ATI AGP card (buy in end of 2004 or 2005 (i dont have any more the exact date)
Windows Xp SP2 / Catalyst 6.5]
this PC worked really good (Halflife 2 an doom3 are beautifull ;-) ...but....
The last month some artifatcs appeared on the image (in 3d games, windows desktop, and ! IN THE BIOS P.O.S.T !)
[I specify, this 9800 board are NOT overclocked, not have a shock, not have electric shock, and also NEVER the radiator,the ventilator were dismounted nor modified]
initially believed has an overheating, but after aving opened the case and having cleaned the card, the artifacts persist
after I thought has a problem of electric power supply, and i've tested with an "460W RealPower ENERMAX" power supply, connected ONLY to the graphic card (for test only) but the problems persist
I have completely deleted all optionnal cards (sound,modem ect...) flash my B.I.O.S with the last up-to-date (desactivates "Fast writes" and same options), and I left only the motherboard, CPU, RAM, and ATI 9800
unfortunately the problem persists ...
I tested my system with an (Nvidia :D) Geforce 5700, and it's work very fine...
In last, i've tried to UNDERclock it, but no results...
You can go on: "http:\\jypweb.com.free.fr" to see some captures of my screen (yes, i can capture the bug!) and some information of my system to prove or inform you on my problem...
I think that my board has hidden vice or hidden problem and I would like to know how to make to repair it or possibly to exchange it (I think that a board of this price should normally function more than 2 years……….)
Thanks...
