Just rma'd my 5900 golden sample. I had blue lines-bad memory. Well I just got a new one sent from gainward and now i have white lines. Is that bad memory too?

what brand and watt power supply are you using ?

**Rummy** · 10-12-04, 09:31 PM

pos 420 generic. the card ran for a full year. It was flashed to a 5950u. the new one has white lines. I can tell the card is new. any thoughts?

You flashed the card and they still accepted it for RMA?

**Rummy** · 10-12-04, 11:29 PM

yes, i had blue lines and after trying to flash it back there was no display, so i sent it off anyway and they replaced it

are sure its ur card's fault and not ur mobo's
Try usin another card on the same mobo, if u hav, jus like a bakup card..like tnt2/geforce2/4/mx/..
After that u fell the card is faulty, u should RMA

**Rummy** · 10-13-04, 12:24 PM

mobo is fine i have a mx420 that i have in there now it works fine.

It could also be your psu. You've stated that it was not the best psu, and it will work with the MX card, because it's not that demanding on the psu...but the higher power card, it would demand more power.
