Zeb 8600GT,showing ill signs..help.

[harryneopotter]

Hi guys ..
I have Zebronics 8600GT installed on ASUS M2NPV VM board. I was away from delhi since monday and when i came back today the System was showing Display probs like.

Distorted Display at Boot Time motherboard LOGO..
Numerous Triangles at bios screen
4-5 groups of 5-6 blue vertical line at OS Choice Menu(Vista-XP) placed at regular intervels.

My card doesnt have a VGA port and my LG 17" CRT (700E) doesnt have DVI input so i am using a DVI-VGA Adapter to connect them. When i connecte the CRT to the onboard VGA, its working fine.

Is the Graphic card has come to its end ??
It was bought in May 2007 (it has a sticker with the month and year marked on it) and i dnt have any bills for it. Am I eligible for RMA if its indeed gone kaput? or cleaning it thoroughly and the placing it again,will do the trick ? (As there is lot of dust on it)

Plz help guys.


Thnx.
Sachin
