Issue with Intel 915GAV motherboard... display screwed up..

[kaps_2222]

Hi all,

Following is my poor config...

Intel P4 PressHot 3.0Ghz with 800Mhz fsb (LGA 775 socket)
Intel 915 GAV Mobo with onboard graphics
Palit Nvidia 7600GT @ stck speed (Never Oced)
256 MB * 2 - Hynix DDR1 Ram @ 400 Mhz

Today I was playing a game...and did alt-tab 3 -4 times.. and suddendly the display got screwed (Red Blue and Green squares..)

Rebooted the PC..still did not return to normal.. (the PC booted...as I could see the Messed up Win Xp logo..)

Removed the graphics card and put it on onboard grapics..but got a white screen...

Now dunno whats the issue?? Any ideas guys? Is my mobo dead or is it the graphics card??

Also enquired for similar mobos but all I got is mobos with DDR2 support or with AGP 8X ... in both scenarios I lose either my Ram or Graphics card...

Please help.... as cannot afford my PC down for longer durations...(I'm a developer..)

Thanks in advance...
Kaps

try rma of mobo . looks like mobo prob since onboard aint coming too..
get back to ur seller and ask him . he'll do the rest.

although i have to say i dont trust palit either . why did u get that .. these palit cards as i hear arent good on the long run..
