paulmason411 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2006 My video card (geforce 7600 gs) that I bought from umart lasted about 6 weeks and then stopped working, i took it back to umart who sent it away which took a whole month to return, the card then lasted another 2 weeks before breaking again. I'm in my third week of waiting for it to return.Can anyone suggest away around this. Should i just buy a new card? Have you also had to wait this length of time for repairs or is it unusual?

Hadi 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2006 Can you turn your card back? If so, then turn it back and buy a new one. Because whenever a video card is broaken it will be very difficult to fix it, sometimes impossible. So evenif they fix the card for you, then it won't last that long, I have a video card from 3 years, and till now it is working perfectly,(it is nivida also) but you had a problem from the first place so I don't think it will last 3 years, it will like 1.5 years max (just an estimation). So you sould give it back and by a new one, that's what I think. Good luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
