NOTY

[ultralala]

for those of you which dont know what that is: Its the Noob of the Year-award and im glad to say im the favorite to getting it.
I thought my graphiccard is broken, bec for "no reason" i got a black screen after windows loaded. My first thought it was a driver problem but after deinstalling/installing several driver versions in safe mode much i pinpoint it wasnt the driver.
So i ordered a new gfx and today,after 5 days no gaming*sigh*, i finally got the new one.
Installed driver again, restarted, same problem. I was like "poor ultra ;("...then its the mainboard or the monitor...well..since i can check the mainboard very much i checked the monitor cable.....THE FUKIN CABLE...
i looked the back of my monitor and saw that the power cable wasnt plugged correct..problem solved..money wasted..nominee for NOTY perfect.

P.S.: no its not a better card than the old one^^

The trophy looks more like Baby of the year than Noob of the year.

But yeah, congrats on fucking up so badly.

haha, now that's actually a good one!

Is it the same card as the last one? If it is you can just SLI that shit.

[Pedsdude]

Absolute noob indeed

[ultralala]

the old one is a 9800gtx+, the new is a 250gts. In theory its possible to run it in SLI when you flash it. But i study some forums and ppl say its pointless. I could use it as a PhysX card but thats all theory since i dont have a SLI-Board(fail continues) ^^

I'll buy the old card off ya.
