    Cards arrived safe and sound. Been like a little kid at Christmas the last 2 days waiting for the postman, :D

    Haven't plugged it in yet, got a few space issues to sort out first, mainly SATA cables in the way, :D


    Huge thanks again to TGS.

    Erm, right, so I've finally got round the installing the card, after getting a PCI-E SATA card to be able to connect all my drives.

    Booted up first time, came onto desktop in silly res as usual with no drivers.
    Installed latest nvidia drivers.
    Restarted.
    Blue Screened just after windows loading screen.
    nvlddmkm issue.

    Restarted, booted up to windows this time.
    Then after a little while, the screen went black, then no signal appeared on the monitor.
    Tried changing the DVI plug into the other socket on the card, still no signal.
    Restarted again.

    Removed the drivers, tried the previous driver version.
    Same thing still happening, sometimes blue screens, sometimes 'No signal'.


    I've got an IR temp gauge, and measuring the back of the card, the core area never goes above 40, and the highest elsewhere is about 48ish.
    My PSU should be man enough, Corsair HX750.
    My old 460 works fine now I've got it back in.

    I'm kind of at a loss what to do next. I've got another PC I could try it in, but I think that's running XP, and I doubt the PSU is up to the job (although it is an Enermax).
    Would EVGA entertain any warranty claim?


    *EDIT*

    Just realised I can't try it in the other PC, as it's PSU doesn't have an 8 pin PCI-E power lead, only 6 pin.

    Try it in the other PC, it'll be fine for a quick test I'm sure.

    Also probably best moving the query to the tech-support subforum :)
