Ive either got two dead video cards, or a dodgy PSU - Im hoping the latter as its cheaper to replace....

But anyway, anyone around Whangaparaoa willing to test these cards for me, or got a spare PSU I can borrow for a day or two ? Must support 2x 8-Pin PCI-e connectors. (Yes, theyre big and old ;) )

TIA

Does the MB have onboard video as thats always the easiest way to diagnose video card issues.

Yeah, onboard and an older card thats bus powered are fine. Just seems to be the other two cards that req the extra power dont want to play ball..... it would just be my luck for them both to be dead. If I had a multimeter I could prob check the PCI-e connectors.....

Hey XPD, im still up in Gulf Harbour.

Im sure I can find a PSU with your requirements and/or a PC to test with.

Which day suits you best? Would have to be evening or friday/saturday due to work shift for me.

I may even have a multi-meter too.
