6800gt power issues

Report abuse

hi,
i have a pixelview 6800gt pciexpress edition and it has been acting up on me recently..
this card seems to have a LED to show that the card is working and functional but when i power up my computer the LED flashes on and then immediatley turns off...seems like i dont have enough power but i have a thermaltake 430watt power supply and i think that is not the cause.
i think that the card is faulty but after several attempts of turning my computer on and off until the LED and fan starts working it works..
what is the problem with my card? :)

I have the same problem.

It may be a sign the fan is going/went bad. You should try unhooking the fan. See what happens. Turn the system on...If it works, great. You should replace the fan. Video cards have fans as a bonus to cool them down. If a fan goes bad and gets a short it will affect the video card. Hopefully the heat didn't damage the card.

Good Luck,

Tim
