If it turns out to be the Mobo Mate, I have a Brand new asus a8n32 sli deluxe sitting here doing nothing. Still boxed and never taken out of the bag which i`m selling. :)

PM us how much matey low on cash right now but I'm sure we can come to some agreement.

*in meantime guys keep hitting me with ideas*

Re: Dead 7900GT need replacement advice
 

Yeah, but did you try it without the graphics card in there? If you try that & the mobo & PSU are ok, it should beep at you complaining there's no graphics card. If it doesn't, then chances are it's not the graphics card. Having said that I suppose it's possible that a motherboard might not beep in the absense of a card, but they always have in my experience. It's a shame you don't have another PCI-E card to try in there.

Right now I have remembered it helps to plug the pc speaker in

*-add ur ****take posts here*---------------------------------


It does beep when the gpu was removed

One long beep three short

Re: Dead 7900GT need replacement advice
 

Dime... bar...? :p:

But nothing when it's in its slot? If that's the case then I'd say your card's toast.

Re: Dead 7900GT need replacement advice
 

Yup nothing just silent with the card in I have to admit was happy to hear some beeps, checked the wise google and it claims the gpu is dead.

Sooooo coming soon a Top Gear styled 7900gt tied to a firework on youtube :D

So whats good for about two hundred quid tops? Would prefer to spend about hundred and fifty as money is tight right now but it has to be a minor improvment on Bf2142 for me...

Is it not still in Warranty?

Re: Dead 7900GT need replacement advice
 

Keep the HSF from it though as a spare [assuming it was still running at a decent speed & wasn't the reason why it fried in the 1st place].

Re: Dead 7900GT need replacement advice
 

Yes I bought it from Scan was my first purchase from them, I'm going to see about getting a lift from a friend on here to their Bolton store in the morning, I have no reciept or box for it but heh their is hope as I am skinto till a week this Wednesday.

If anyone has a PCI-E card going VERY BLOODY CHEAP and I mean postage cost lol I am interested.
