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?

My Pc specs:
-PENTIUM 4 2.OGHZ
-MOTHERBOARD ASUS P4B

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.
