now this happens when i run the run the windows exp. index test or for that matter any games (the games load fine until the actual in game screens)
when the system restarts this garbled screen is present right from bios screen, and its only after i switch off the psc for half an hour that the display looks normal again

otherwise the systems runs just fine, without any problems

now i have done the following-
reinstalled windows
updated various drivers
changed the dvi cable
plugged in the gpu into other slot on the mobo

you wont believe this is or was my 3rd rma 8600gt!!!!!!!!!
before it i was using it with diff. cpu-mobo combo (5200+ and m2ne)

i forgot to mention that after this screen when the system restarts this garbled scrren is present right from bios screen, so i guess that rules out driver/sw problems

can it be releated to mobo as the card for running just fine on by m2ne, used to run cod mw2,grid etc nicely

^^ remove ram. turn PC on & let it run for a minute. turn PC off. plug ram in. & check. i not sure if its going to work but try once.

ok so it isn't a ram problem. so next most likely option is GPU. but in my case (old pc opened 2 weeks ago, faced same problem but no GPU) this step solved the problem.

Treatment in progress...
Well,u might remove the ram and gpu from their rrespecrive slots,give a slots a bit of a hard blow of air and put things back.
Worked for me.
Otherwise,it has features of a possible gpu problem.

Also,have u lukd at the proccy temps and hdd smart?

You got 3 RMAs from rashi :shock:.

Whats RMA?


Try changing your cable that connects ur monitor and cpu....that could be the problem. If it doesn't help then try starting the pc in safe mode...if the problem doesn't arise then its your GPU problem probably.

@sam
well i had another rma (4th one)
dont be so angry at rashi:lol:, atleast my citys rashi franchisee is nice:))

i asked them for a credit voucher but since they had a new 8600 in store they said they would give the next time if i have the problem again
guess they have a bumper stock of xfx 8600gt, everytime i go with a problem they handover a new 8600:roll:

are you sure the card you received is new? cause chances are those are faulty cards, cleaned up & TIMed. and are given to anyone with a faulty Electric Stove (pet name for XFX 8600GT). if so, than they are a pack of really educated cheaters.

I am the night...I am...
Even rashi guys in my city are good. My 5750 also went kaput after 2 weeks of purchase. The problem was due to my faulty ups and voltage spikes due to improper earthing.

They replaced my card within 6 working days and gave me a new 5750. I am talking about rashi peripherals bhubneshwar and i guess they are lot better than their kolkata counterpart.

^^ your card was new & a bit costly (above 7k) so they replaced. also its from Asus. had you taken a faulty XFX 8600GT or 8500GT you may have got same kind of reaction as Topgear.
