I built this computer about two years age. After about a year my video card a powercolor radeon9800SE, the video started to have line,:eek: and then my computer would not boot at all
It beep many times and that was it. The motherboard book said the number of beep was a bad video card. I return it and they replaced it. I installed it and it work great for about six mouths now i have line that come and go, you can not do anything to graphic and it gets lines in the display. I am going to get someone to put my card in another computer in a day or so. What help can you give me? If the card is bad I can send it back but it take about two to four weeks to get back and how long will it last. Should I buy a different make card.
I am running windows drivers i installed new ati driver it made it worse.:eek:
