I have a had this graphics card for some time now, it use to work fine. I had to upgrade my power supply to 500 watts for it to work properly. Recently the power supply would give out restarting the whole system. I used my old graphics card until I bought a new power supply... I installed the new 480 watt powersupply but 6800 gt is not working. First I saw lines on the screen, then blocks of white red black, smiley faces all over the screen. When I restart the motherboard gives me two beeps and nothing appears on the screen. I installed the old graphic card and went into CMOS it said in the events "CMOS CONFIGURATION ERROR" Is my card dead or do I just need to load defaults in CMOS???

I connected the power molex and reset bios, still nothing. I don't know what went wrong with it. There goes 400 bucks down the drain.

Your card is going bad.

Does that card require extra power? If so, make sure you hooked up the power adapter for it from your new power supply.

Take the battery out to reset your cmos, and see if that helps.
