hi guys
i have a problem with a 9800pro graphics card i did flash it to an xt about 3 months ago, yesterday i was playing battlefield 2 medium settings i have 1gb 400mhz ram and 3200xp AMD, anyway, gamplay stopped and the computer reset, on next boot i get on the screen that the 9800pro's power is not connected ! , but its i was , i reset a few times... still didnt work. took the card out i notice a "burn mark" and was slightly melted on the molex socket, i tried to remove the cable it wouldnt budge!, in the end, i had to break it off! which i didnt like doing. i cleared socket up a bit removed some of the soot on the PIN, i replace and different molex cable , turn the pc on system boots , 1 hour later smae thing happenes only this time its not working ??? any guess's :)
i was thinking about taking the socket off and soldering a molex socket from a fan on to the main board.
o yeah warrenty is voided on account of the flashing DAM IT! :mad:
