GTX 560TI FPB: White Lines in safe mode, error 43 in normal 640x480
Hello everyone,
I have recently purchased a used GTX 560 TI from ebay. The seller has been great working with me, so no problem there. He says the card was working in his friends machine "they watched youtube videos."
History:
I purchased a custom built pc in 2009. Specs were:
Windows 7 64 home premium. "Authentic"
AMD Phenonm Processer II x4 945
Motherboard: Gigabyte MA790GPT-UD3H
Power: Fatality 550 watt.
Ram: OCZ DDR3 4gb
Motherboard Graphics "currently using" ATI Radeon HD 3300
Former Graphics Card: BFG GTX 275 "Artifacting"
About a month ago the card died. I believe it was from not being cleaned, b/c I never did "shame on me" for 3 years of usage. I purchased the 560, and upon instalation received white lines. After windows auto installed the hardware, I restarted. This resulted in windows booting with lines again and in 640x480 "forced" res. The card is stopped by windows b/c of error 43.
I spent days researching and 3 hours with a local tech last night. We have done everything past the point of the normal check list. Deleted old drivers with driver sweeper. Tried multiple drivers from EVGA. Used Device doctor, Driver Reviver, every driver updated.. Still error 43..
Funny things happening....
One time, after many attempts, was able to boot with no lines, drivers installed. Started Batman, lines then crashed.
Installed Radeon drivers to onboard graphics. The bios is set to PCIE primary "went through most of the bios with the tech." After I installed the radeon, re-installed 560+new drivers, black screen now after windows starting.
White lines in safe mode.
Re-installed 285 driver, can reboot, with forced 640x480 res.
Tried to re-install new driver, in 640x480, received message You are not using a display attached to an Nvdia gpu.
Have not flashed the bios as tech has not recommended yet.
Weird thing happened when using the free version of NvidiaXP Driver updater. The updater found an acient driver of my old GTX 275. But I used driver sweeper and cleared/delete pretty much all Nvidia files.
If anyone wants to tackle this problem, much appreciative. The seller is willing to pay if the card doesn't work "but I'd rather not go that route as he needed the money"
The worst issue is, and he is working on it, I don't have a SN# on the back of the card. He said in the ad, his friend got the card in a gaming pc but used his own and left the 560 in the static bag until sold. Every other tag is on there, just missing that.
Thank you everyone reading and hope to hear back..
