Just over one year after I bought an ATI Radeon x1300 AGP card, it stopped working. One day I shut down, the next day, no bios screen. I switched to the onboard card, but still no bios. I removed all components and then plugged each back in one by one to find out it was the ATI card - the onboard card seems to work when the ATI card is not plugged in. The fan on the card is working, but I get a black screen with a constant yellow LED and the noise of constant high speed fan cooling, which normally only lasts for a split second at startup. I use a 300W power supply although the card calls for 350W. BestBuy man said that was okay, but I shouldn't have listened to him. I'm trying to figure out if it is the card (I don't have another computer to test it on) or the poor power supply. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you

Send the card back (possibly to the manufacturer) for a warranty replacement - there should be some coverage left since the card is just over a year old.

Call for warranty. At least you can get it fixed or replacement if possible. Dip Electronic Eng Dip Computing & IT BSc Software Eng Core2 Duo 6420 Gigabyte 965P-S3 2x1GB DDR667 7900GS 256DDR3 OC Seagate 2x160GB SATAII SB Audigy4 19" 5ms 4:3 Dell LCD

i dont usually hear video card dying with out any notification. Did it overheat or something. Did you overclcok it or play game on it. That might have killed your card and i think the only way to get it back is through RMA.

ATI changed their warranty policy to a year didn't they? I'll check up on that. I hadn't played anything on it for about a day. I don't overclock. I had been watching video for about 12 hours though. It was strange. Everything was fine when I shut down. Then nothing at startup. I don't think it overheated...I'm not sure though. The fan on the card still works. Thank you for the help.
