This is not too unusual to comprise this on the GTX460 from the only some criticism that I have seen thus distant. So it could be power (rare if it is) but frequently it is dishonored drive which you may have previously ruled out. So begin to check the cables as well as the connectors for any troubles there. The last but not least verify the voltages and temperature of the system and or the processor. If you contain more than one PCI-E port, attempt to plugging the Graphics card into a unlike port to observe if that helps. Could be interference, this from time to time come about with integrated graphics.

I had perform that i could obtain again into windows with the GPU card even plugged in ? Shall i still continue to obtain a RMA? I m not excessively passionate about flashing my BIOS been on to the provider (OCUK) about RMA and they have recommended flashing my BIOS? I take it they mean my motherboard BIOS. I have never performed this previously and I am a little bit concerned about troubling my motherboard up, do you believe it’s worth a try. is it easy ?

I could not even boot in to windows last night because I also face the problem with the graphic card, i need to boot the whole setup into safe mode take the GPU driver off and restart it again, formerly i had perform that i could acquire back into windows with the GPU card even plugged in ? Shall i still continue to obtain a RMA ? I’m not exceedingly passionate about flashing my BIOS been on to the provider (OCUK) about RMA and they have suggested discontinuous my BIOS? I take it they mean my motherboard BIOS.
