Title: Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe & 6800 GT
Post by: Burt_Flaxton on September 07, 2005, 07:58:04 PM
I have Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe & 6800 GT.

When I start my PC I get the ascii BS during start up & in the BIOS.

I go to device manager, and under 6800GT and I have an exclaimation mark there and an error code that says:

"This device cannot start. (Code 10)


I pulled the card out, put it back in, scanned for hardware changes, and then I reinstalled the drivers for the card.

BAAM card worked fine, downloaded some demos to see the video quality, and then I played BF 2 on high res for around 30 minutes.

Satisfied, I stop playing and go to post the good news to my buddies on my forums, and as I am doing it, my PC goes back to the green bars all over the screen.

I have the latest Nforce drivers and I have flashed the BIOS to the latest version.


PLZ HELP ME, I AM GONNA DIE!!!

Looks like it could be a cooling issue. Hmm...

try...Restarting, then opening the case up and blowing air into it using a household fan. If it continues to do this (you may have to shutdown and let it cool), then you know its a cooling issue.

edit/ waaaaait a minute...its a driver issue (maybe aswell as a cooling issue)...try uninstalling your current drivers and installing the latest. If that is still borked, try rolling back the drivers, install an older version. It could still be a cooling issue (those green dots aint normal), so use my advice from earlier.
