rattler Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Aye - ASUS have 3 year warranty on their cards. Currently busy with necessary comms etc. If you don't mind, keep us informed.. I have always had Asus products and lucky I haven't had any issues. Would like to know how they are to deal with when you do have and issue. PM, me if you like.Cheers. Hope you get your issue addressed and not have to fight to get it resolved. Customer Relations is a big factor for me and I would assume many others.Good Luck:thumbup:
JLZ Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Well, Viper if you have any problems with RMA you should read how Scottish girl dealt with Asus (I knew I've read somewhere about it) :smilewink: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
159th_Viper Posted June 14, 2010 Author Posted June 14, 2010 There might be hope yet........Opened the PC, removed the card and gave it a cursory clean and vacuum. Reseated the card and booted up with no issues. Could it have been as simple as a loose card? In any event - stress-testing with the following: http://www.ocbase.com/perestroika_en/index.php Been running the GPU test for about 50 min now with no prob's.

Pilotasso Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Knew it, it was too soon to conclude a bad card. :) .
rattler Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Sometimes it's the simple things that get us. glad you are up an running again. Hopefully that's the end of the problem. :thumbup: 1
RvEYoda Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Could it have been as simple as a loose card? . It is possible, I saw that a few years back when I worked at a place that tested computer parts S = SPARSE(m,n) abbreviates SPARSE([],[],[],m,n,0). This generates the ultimate sparse matrix, an m-by-n all zero matrix. - Matlab help on 'sparse'
rattler Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 I have been involved with computers all my adult career and you can not believe some of the stupid stuff that happens to cause endless hours of grief before one looks at the most simple causes. From the vic20 onwords and that goes well back. Now you can figure out my age,LOL.:D
bumfire Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Good to hear that a jiggle/reseat fixed your problem, with your symptoms, I would of definetly put it down to bust hardware, but alas a bad connection or a dodgy 6/8 pin power connection may have caused your problem. Good to see that it wasnt needing RMA'd, cuz rma is a pita, I am in the middle of 2 atm and both companies are coming the cnut.
Vekkinho Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Glad you've got it sorted. I had similar issues ten or more years ago with Creative live soundcard, it kept disconnecting (for no reason) from PCI slot every couple of days so I'd take it back under warranty as non functional but it'd work there when tested so I'd receive the same card back. Then, three or four days later same problem reappears...round and round, I take it to the shop - they say it's OK. By checking it visually and fiddling with it over open rig case one couldn't say it's loose but contact was bad, probably due to shitty slots of a Soundcard itself! LOL! I still feel the headache it kept giving me for weeks 'til I finally bought a new one... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
159th_Viper Posted June 26, 2010 Author Posted June 26, 2010 Update: After a week or so's respite, did it again. Yanked it out and took it to a PC Shop for independant verification and they confirm that it is indeed the RAM in the Card that's FUBAR. Oh Wei, RMA it is........Thank Goodness for new rig :D Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career? Click me to commence your Journey of Pillage and Plunder!
