When i turn my desktop pc on, which i recently built, sometimes it gives the post passed beep then there is no gfx output, or extremely scrambled gfx output. This happens almost every time i turn it on from a cold boot. I usually have the pc turned off at the mains (after a proper shutdown of course) and when it comes back on the above problem occurs. I can usually fix the problem by removing all cables, opening the case then removing all appropriate screws and cables then removing/wiggling the gfx card. I can then re-insert it, re-insert all relevant cables in correct positions and it works fine. This is rather cumbersome and annoying, any ideas on what is wrong?

Could be a faulty graphics card, could be a faulty motherboard. Try a different card first (preferably a similar one).
I have already had the gfx card replaced by the supplier, as it was cocking up, but it was every time and i couldnt fix it by wiggling it around/removing and re-inserting the card. http://forums.afterdawn.com/t.cfm/f-216/graphics_output_does_not_work_please_help-866731/ - link to previous thread the new one worked fine for the first few weeks, then started gettting annoying
No. Both cards were brand spanking new. The first one was returned and i recieved a replacement which is now unfortunately failing, atleast i think it is the gfs card
know anybody who has the same video slot with a videocard in it that you can switch to see what happens?
Does anyone know how the ASUS CPU level-up bios utility work? You install your processor and then in the bios it gives you the option for cpu level up and say (like me) you have a Phenom 2 955 black edition, it lets you overclock it to a 965, ok a MIGHTY 0.2ghz aint much but still. I did this and told the guy at my local computing shop who thinks it could have overclocked the buses (including the pci bus) and thus damaging the gfx card, is this a feasible explanation for my problems do you think? or does the cpu level up not affect the buses?
That is interesting, i was under the impression, due to reading reviews and advice from others, that Asus boards were extremely reliable
Reviews only ever state how things perform new. Long-term Asus boards are very problematic, they usually fail between 6 and 24 months of age. They're always checked they work before being sent out so they're not that often DOA, but they're made really badly, so they don't last.
