New Computer Build, Getting Graphic Corruption
I just finished building a computer using my old computer case. I installed a new motherboard, and most of the components are new as well. When I boot up, the display has all sorts of graphic artifacts such that I can barely read it.
Here's the setup that I'm trying to work with: ECS Elitegroup nFORCE 570 SLIT-A V5.1 Motherboard Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 1.86GHz Ultra Fire P4 Socket 775 CPU Heat Sink/Fan Enermax FMA II 535W PSU Corsair ValueSelect 1GB DDR2 Part Number: VS1GB667D2 EVGA e-GeForce 7300 GT 512 MB PCI-E Graphics Card Western Digital Caviar SE 80GB 800JB-00JJC0 (old component from previous computer) Sony DVD-ROM DDU1621 (old component) Sony CD-RW CRX185E1 (old component) Sound Blaster Audigy Model Number: SB0090 (old component) This may be worth noting. I've installed the latest driver package available from nVidia for the nFORCE 570 SLI Intel Edition motherboards. Any help is greatly appreciated! |

Run memtest86+ on the ram, if it passes, RMA the video card.

Thanks glc for the quick reply! I started running memtest86+ about 20 minutes ago. Quick question: how long should I let it run?

2 or 3 passes should be enough.

Update: I ended up letting memtest86+ run for about 4 hours: no errors. Took the card back to the store for an exchange of the exact same model and now everything is great! Card's running just like she should... once again, many thanks!
