Well my other video card worked fine..just not my 9700Pro haha...

I DIDNT REMOVE THE HEATSINK haha dang...i did not...yall keep saying they will tell if i did...i didnt haha

They still have 9700Pros so I guess I will call them on monday and get info or something to make sure i can rma it.

I let my friend get on here and i know he downloaded a bunch of shit when i told him not to...noone hardly understands that downloading shit messes ur comp up and i like my computer clean with not much on it...he went off so he prob did get something..

i ran adaware and theres nothing.

Erm, so how did you fuck up your 9700Pro. You said you pulled the heatsink off, then you said you didn't...?

he probably started to get it off but since he couldnt get it off he thinks it didnt at all come off. but the transfer of heat between the card and heatsync is probably lower now so it overheated.

that or he scratched the card.

no, it didnt budge at all...none...zero..i looked at it and was going to take it off...but after looking at stuff realized it would not come off so i just stuck it back in haha..oh well theres no physical damage and u cant tell.

My score was so low cuz i had it all set on quality haha

And I set the card on the lowest settings I could after it was messed up...really slow speeds..and it was still wierd.
