Hello...

 

Is it possible that OS X burned up my graphics card? Is it possible that os x controls

power/heat/fan (in x86) settings in a way that could cause card over heating?

Just couple hours ago I checked my workstation and displays were all BLACK,

and after rebooting and shut down(cooling down), it appears that there is some permanent damage

happened to the card. While booting x86 BIOS, AMI BIOS text and everything is SCRABLED

and JUNK on my screen. System just HALTS.

 

Or is this just random brake down of my graphics hardware ..

 

Please reply..

Problem solved! Sorry about this quote. Im glad to inform you

that Hacintosh DID NOT burn the ATI GPU. :wacko:

 

There was improperly fuctioning memory module (2 weeks old[buffalo]) which caused the

scrambled boot screen.

first thing i would check is the fan and fins on the card in case they are clogged with dust.

 

this is a well known problem on Apple Macs using the Mac version of the the ATi 1900 card.

 

On both my Mac Pro and Hac Pro I regularly inspect and clean the cards.
