I have a Nvidia 8800 GS card.
It only works in Vesa modes.
I have used it with XP, Vista, Linux, and Aros.
Is there a program that I could down load that could test this card?
XFX is not helping me since I do not have an original receipt.
They do not make Nvidia cards anymore.
Thanks.
Nvidias 8800 series gfx cards are prone to major errors.
i had one myself. asus, though.
they have an improper designed mainboard. when the chips get hot they tend to desolder important connections...
if your card only works in vesa modes, you may be a lucky one that has a card that works.
mine started displaying graphical bugs. and just stop working.
i heated it in the oven to 200 degree centigrade. for 8 minutes and letting it cool down.
it worked two times. the third time the card was dead...

(i never dismantled my card. appart from plastic parts of course...)

you should start thinking about replacing the card.

Thanks, I would like to reflow the board or even parts of it see it that would help.
Just remember, do at your own risk!!!
