I opened a support ticket (no. 55097) regarding my faulty GF 7900 GT EE 4 days ago, and yet nobody answered me.
My card has the same problems as all those GF 7900 GT's out there, flashing screen, freezes or artifacts in Deep Freeze, artifacts and flashing screen in F.E.A.R., etc.
Here's what I wrote on my support ticket :
I bought this card when I was traveling in the USA 2 weeks ago. I arrived to my home in Europe 2 days ago, and installed the new video card on my computer. It worked fine the first day, absolutely no problems (I played video games such as Sega`s Condemned, Sierra`s F.E.A.R. and Valve`s Half-Life 2). On the 2nd day of use, I tested 3D Mark 2006. And during Graphic Test 4, artifacts of all sorts started to appear on the screen, and when I attempted to return to Windows, the screen started to flash (black screen Windows with artifacts black screen Windows with artifacts black screen, etc.). So I had to reset my system. Then Windows started OK, and I ran Sega`s Condemned. For about 5 minutes there were no problems, and then all of a sudden the game crashed to Windows. After that, I wasn`t able to start any other game. I restarted the system again. This time I ran F.E.A.R.. For about 2 minutes everything went OK, and then artifacts started to appear (boxes of different colors on the textures, and also black lines). I immediately quit the game, but the screen started to flash again (black artifacts black artifact and so on). Now I visited several forums on the web and hundreds of people are reporting problems with their GeForce 7900 GT cards. I guess mine is also defective. I think you`ll ask me to return the card, but the problem is that I threw out part of the box just after buying the card. Are you still going to help me? Can I send you back only the card without the box? Thank you for your understanding. Best regards.
Here are my system specs :
Athlon64 3400+
Gigabyte GA-K8NE rev 2.0
1 GB RAM PC3200
Maxtor 250 GB SATA2
SB Audigy
Fotron 500W PSU
The last 3 days I've done A LOT of testing, and although the card sometimes works, at one point it always ends up artifacting, freezing and flashing.
All I'm asking for, is to get a replacement card. Or is my warrany void because I threw out the big box and only kept the small ones inside and the wires / connectors?
