I bought a gf4 4600 saving a lot of money! And i having problems with it. When i first installed the card, everyting was OK. Then i start to install drivers, upload some ones, and other stuff. Then one hour later... Some yellow lines start to appear on the screen. Well i throug it was nothing (i was using the video in program), but then my PC crashed. I reestarted it, and in DOS-mode the fonts were corrupt i think, a lot of errors with the collors too. When windows was starting the PC reboot again, and was like that forever. Then i opened my pc, checked if was everything ok... Well, it was, i pick up the card, and put on the mother board again. And when i turned my pc again, it was ok. And a week later the problem came again! damn... i did the same thing, and it worked... 2 days later... problem again! did the same, worked for some time... error again... and then when i tried to do the same thing to make it work, it didnt!!! And now always when i turn on my PC, its buggy! Corrupt fonts, colour error, reboot when winxp start...

Well, some people say that the card is faulty... Well, then, what shal i do? I mean, were am i suppose to send the card? I have to pay somenthing? It take how many time? Is there a other way to repair the card?

I just RMA'd my card for the same thing. (just got the new on back yesterday)

hmmmm, its working now? did you send your card to msi? how you did that? And what is RMA???? ;(

[harbinger]

I got a RMA through NEWEGG.com and MSI.  I ended up sending it to NEWEGG.  RMA- Return Merchandise Authorization


Mine started out doing it every so often.  Then It was non stop.  I did a complete system rebuild and it still did it.  I stuck in a GF3 And a GF4 4200 and they worked fine.  I was the First time I ever had an Issue with a MSI product.  It was just one of those things.

I bought my card from new egg.  You will have to call MSI tech support.  I e-mailed them my problem and everything I did to try and fix it.  They sent me a number.  Go to MSI web site to do this.
