Astrotoy7 Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Yeah, except all that software stuff you have to set up and configure again. Also, I think you all should stop this reformat thing. When you install windows, it cleans previous installations. No need to format the whole hard disk. of course, I just think stinger is trying to clarify definitions. He's a very thorough fellow Something Ive always wondered... in windows setups(even Vista) you hav ethe option of a quick format and a 'format' . Im guessing that the longer format opton will do all the binary resetting biz that stinger is referring to. Still, at the end of the day - with the newer drives especially, I doubt youd experience any significant problems doing a new installation over a wiped drive as opposed to a fully nuked one. btw - urlucky day - did you ever get a chance to try the gfx card in another pc - always worth it - because if the gfx card is bunk, then you can save yourself a reformat/wipe/mcNugget mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoxStar Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I'm not gonna even bother putting it in another PC... -Put it in a friend's PC. -Use PC Wizard to check the temperature of your graphics card. It may be overheating and thus causing artifacts. -Return it! -Search around for workarounds! DO NOT LET YOUR INVESTMENT GO TO WASTE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
