this card was working last in a friends rig however i cannot get it too display a picture , i am not sure if my power supply does not have enough juice too run it or if it is in need of repairs but when i power up my computer with this card in it this happens:
fans spin up
lights at the back of the card light up
computer boots as normal but will use its onboard video instead of the GTX 295
i have not had an opportunity too test it on another computer so i am selling AS FAULTY which means no returns or refunds , `MAY` be in need of repair i am unsure if my psu is not providing enough power of the card has had a static shock or something
either way grab a bargain , if you can get this going ... its an utter beast of a card.
i have not attempted any repairs other than cleaning off the old thermal paste and applying new arctic silver brand paste.

Now i do not have this i am looking to buy it off ma mate and he sent me a email of its problem does anyone know wat it could mbe?

why dont you post up your system specs so we can see if it could be the psu. Also, do you have the monitor cable pluged in the correct connection, as it shouldnt go to onboard unless you have the monitor connection plugged into it. Have you checked the bios for options relating to the gpu, it may be set to use onbaord as default.

Dylan,

Seriously mate, it's probably screwed. If it wasn't gonna cost much to get it fixed, he would have done it himself.

Don't waste your money buying broken parts off ebay.
