This is true. That could be the problem. I've more often found bad video
cards. SInce I build PC's for the users in my company I have seen alott of
faulty video hardware. especially the ViperV550's. two times out of 10 it's
improperly seated. but you know what to do if it just doesnt work.. RMA the
bastard.
