GeForce 6800 GT Problem

[Xchelon]

Hello, I recently bought a GeForce 6800 GT.

It was well packaged and delivered to me without problem. When I fitted the card into my motherboard all was well until I started my computer and I was getting Glyphs on the screen from boot up.

Originally my first thought was that it was not getting enough power. So I used a 450 W PSU and I was still getting them. I tried with a 650 W PSU and there were fewer glyphs.

I'm using an ASRock AGP motherboard, which has alot of settings in the BIOS for the graphics card. I changed the Apperture size to 256 and still received the problem

Can anyone help me? I don't think the card is damaged as it seems perfectly intact to the eye, I was hoping it was just a problem with my BIOS settings. Perhaps the onboard VGA was conflicting with the card?

Here is a picture of the Glyphs etc

you need to disable the onboard video. go into the bios and change the video from onboard the AGP and you should be good.

p.s. There are no Glyphs in the picture below because i'm using my 6800LE

I did change the boot order from PCI to AGP and had no success. Also I changed the apperture from 128 to 256 and has no luck

I took this picture, so can you suggest any settings for me?

The picture below is just showing the rest of the settings

that's a bad card, sorry to say... (the GT) I had that same problem with a 7900GT at one time... RMA it and get a new one.

the only other option... have you tried the latest drivers??

Yes I have the latest drivers, I'll RMA it, thanks for your help

You could just unlock that 6800 le and overclock to 6800 gt specs. I figure its very possible.
