PC Peripherals White Screen of Death

nilsnaik · Oct 18, 2009

Guys need your help on this.

My Config is as follows:

Asus P5Q Delux
Quad Core 9550
Palit Sonic Edition Ati 4850.
G-Skill 1066 2GB DDR2.

I am able to boot the machine and go to the bios but within a minute the screen turn's white. I am suspecting the GFX Card but i am not sure. I dont know what the problem could be. Please help.

Thanks in Advance.

Ok the culprit is the GFX card. I tested the same on another machine. This has been a rather strange issue that the card works for 10 seconds and the hangs up. Any way my card is currently under warranty so will try to get a replacement of the same. Guys thanks for your help on this.
