5900 only works in safe mode?

KayinStorm · 27-May-04, 06:33 PM

Been having fun with my new 5900 Ultra (only had it a week, still virgin) and today I turned on my computer to get online for work, and it refused to show a picture in windows. It showed HEAVILY corrupted images, but when I booted into safe mode, it ran just fine. Anyone got any idea why? ATM, I'm not running OCed, so I know that can't be to blame...

Are you feeding it enough juice?

Damn well better be, on the dedicated video card rail of my PSU...

On a lighter note, the drivers were bad, and I got the regular nVidia ones, and it seems to work for now.
