Last Sunday I bought a Creative GeForce 2 GTS 32mb card for my Pentium III
800EB Abit BE6-II Rev 2 PC. Since that time I have had nothing but problems
from midweek onwards.

Firstly sometimes the computer (on boot) will display multicolored garbage
text which means its impossible to do anything in Windows/Bios
etc...othertimes the PC will not detect a graphics card is even in the PC
and I will get a beep on starting up the PC. Only a hard reboot will correct
the problem.

I have checked to make sure that the card is in the AGP slot ok and my G400
works perfectly in the PC...is this the problem I have heard about Creative
GeForce 2 cards having with various ABIT motherboards or do I have a faulty
GeForce 2 Card (either way I guess it's going back tomorrow)

Cheers
