Does anyone have the ATI Radeon HD 4800 series? (in Off-topic)

Cause I get this VGA no signal problem when playing any games and I tried some recovery tips from a site but it did not work.

So I was wondering if any of you CB players had the solution.

That means your card crashed....probably overheated I had the same problem I don't think I found a fix. It happened when i was playing WarHammer online and it would just freeze up screen and I had to do a hard reset every time. I just ditched Radeon and went Nvidia.

BTW its Radeon, its been known for crashing like this. I used to work with a computer hardware guy at a factory couple years ago and he said the same thing just go with nvidia less problems. Sorry no fix for it from me.

How good is your power supply? I wanted to put a nicer card in my Dell but am restricted due to the semi-crappy power supply in it. ATI recommends a 450W supply, though Tom's hardware says a decent 400W should suffice. I don't know if this is the problem with yours, but it's the first thing that comes to mind with Vid cards for me.

I have one in my own computer back at home, and it happened to me too. Indeed, the video card overheated and had to be replaced. The store I bought it from gave me a newer and better version and all works fine now. No idea what caused it.

I've got one, no problems whatsoever... :)

Alright I'll check my power supply and if that's not the problem, I guess I'll have to replace it.

thanks for the help.
