Easy all! I'm in a bit of bother, I recently bought a radeon 9200 for my TFT monitor about 4 weeks ago and it installed perfectly and I was getting a fresh & crisp picture from my monitor. But my motherboard died two weeks ago and I've had nothing but troubles since. I rebuilet the system with a new motherboard only to find that on turning it on and getting to the welcome to windows splashscreen my PSU dies and a loud bang followed with smoke coming from my fan, so I bought a new PSU to find that nothing would turn on due to the fact that the explosion surged my motherboard. So I thought **** this I'm buying a new machine so I did it's a pretty good for my needs. So I fitted my radeon again to find that when the drivers were installed after the reboot my monitor showed no picture other than a few really thin colourful lines. So does any know if my gfx card has ****ed up and I did turn off onboard VGA support and made it go to the AGP slot via the BIOS so that aint the problem. But my NIC card works perfectly fine with this machine and i'm installing my sound card right now so i'm not sure on that one but if the NIC is fine surely the rest would be? You think i could send this back to scan due to the fact that its faulty i only bought it four weeks ago.

Have you got an old/spare graphics card to try with the new mobo? -
Nope i dont, the radeon was purchased to replace my old gfx card that packed up after two years loyal service i really do have the worst luck with machines
The sound card works perfectly fine so i'm confused?

So the Rad 9200 fails to work at all now?Comment

Basically its R.I.P, which makes no sense as the NIC card and my SoundCard have been migrated and they were fine.Comment

It may have been sheer luck they weren't borked by your surge too, though, so it's probably just sheer luck they're working and your graphics card's fried...Comment

It does sound like you have fried the graphics card also, I would see if you could maybe get a new one on warranty, just dont tell them you exploded the machine
