i just purchased a geforce 6300 gt and put it in my hp amd athalon 64 x 2 4200 pc and when i was playing some games some discolored dots appeared on the screen so i restarted my computer and it wouldnt start. I took the video card out and then it worked fine? anyone know?|||In fact Erik's answer is a good one(answerer 1).
What I can recommend you is to buy better trademarks like Leadtek or Asus for example. The life sapn of an eklectronic componet is highly influenced by the capacitor the manufacturer uses. Also the trademark of the memory he puts in is as important.|||Which brand was the card? I've seen short life spans to be common on BFG, PNY and eVGA cards.
Typically, a video card dies due to faulty capacitors. They overheat, begin to bloat then finally leak the internal fluids. The capacitor stops working and the card dies. PNY especially seems to like to use the cheapest caps they can find. BFG is supposed to be one of the best out there, but from what I've seen, they are just high-priced junk. And eVGA just plain sucks.|||you try reinstalling the drivers for it? reload your origional default drivers and then reinstall it and try it again, check your hp compatibility list to make sure that card works with it, by the sounds of it it is, make sure the card isnt overheating as well. and make sure that in the Device manager and like areas that the card is recognized as being present|||Well, you seem to be one of the lucky ones who got a bad card. Truely it could have been anything, but often times it is either the capacitors, like the guy above me mentioned, or a poorly seated heatsink.
If you bought it less than 30 days ago, bring it back to the place you bought it. If it has been longer, then you will have to call up or email the manufacturer to get a replacement.
