My computer's video card (a GeForce 7350LE) broke. The repair shop, for some unclear reason, replaced it with a Quadro NVS 290. I'd like to know if that card has a rough equivalent in the GeForce series.|||Quadro cards are aimed to accelerate CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and DCC (digital content creation), and the cards are usually featured in workstations. (Compared to the NVIDIA GeForce product-line, which specifically targets computer-gaming).
Given the importance of speed in a game, a system used for gaming can shut down textures, shading, or rendering after only approximating a final output—in order to keep the overall frame rate high. The algorithms on a CAD-oriented card tend rather to complete all rendering operations, even if that introduces delays or variations in the timing, priortising accuracy and rendering quality over speed.

Newegg question - What is RMA Repair?
my mobo and graphics card was DOA, so i got an RMA from newegg. It says in the email what time of RMA i got and it says RMA repair.
What the hell? I don't want them to repair my DOA products, i want a brand new one just like any other customer.
So my question is, is RMA repair a type of RMA where they actually "repair" your product? Or do they actually hand you a brand new sealed product?
I spent 800 bucks total for mobo and video card, and I demand a brand new sealed product!|||I am sure they would replace with a new unit.
They return to the manufacturer and get a full credit on it, plus you have a certain number of years warranty on the unit, which the manufacturer covers, not the dealer.|||if under warranty usually they don't repair it, just replace with a brandnew one. and sometimes it doesn't mean what you will get is a sealed product but still brandnew.
Just like my apc back-ups. they replaced it with a brandnew one but opened. I know it's brandnew since manufacture date is only last june.

Can a virus damage a video card?
I have had the worst day possible. My laptop that is over 3 years old had the video die on it. When I started up my laptop it gets to the XP loading bar before the login screen and dies. The screen goes black and I can't see anything. I restored the computer with the recovery CD's and still have the same problem.
I am also having a similar problem on my desktop. This computer is used very rarely (once a month is rare for it). It worked fine last night, but when I turned it on this morning it has a series of yellow bars that go across the screen horizontally and vertically. The color of the items on webpages are fine but it seems like the bars are overlaying the screen.
Both computers are connected to the same wireless network. The desktop is hard wired into the wireless router while the laptop works through wifi. There are 2 other laptops that use this connection that have shown no problems. Is this an isolated incident or should I have the video cards looked at on them? I know the laptop is out of warranty and fear that the repairs would cost more than a new computer.|||Yes it can.If your video card have damaged,diskgetor can help you to recover the lost data.|||i would try and start it in safe mode, and run some virus scans, antimalware scans, etc. push F6 during the start up and start in safe mode with networking.|||video card, install the drivers with the cd it came with|||Although it is possible, there aren't any virus's that cause permanent damage to video cards.

Are Apple repair parts covered by a warranty?
I got my Macbook Pro repaired about a year ago while it was still under Applecare. They replaced a video card that was leading to video problems. Those problems have returned. Is there a warranty on the repair parts they used under which I could get another repair?
It is no longer under warranty and I doubt they'll repair it.|||If you are no longer under warranty or applecare, then you have to pay for the repairs

Can I save my video card, or is it done for?
So basically, I've just had the worst week of my life, and such a perfect week came to a perfect end when my computer decided it wanted to come across every single error it could think of. Here's the just of it all:
First, when I got home my monitor was saying the "Check connection" on it, although it was fine. I restarted my computer a couple times but it wouldn't go away. I don't entirely recall how I fixed this, but none the less, that problem faded away.
Next I successfully loaded up windows, to have it almost immediately crash to a "atidvag" error, which again is fine, an apparently common error. But when I went to restart I next got the error "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_ERROR". I solved this by going to windows repair via the installation CD and doing "chkdsk /p" "fixboot" "exit" and it loaded windows successfully, however for some reason it didn't have internet, even though everything was in place. I figured my solution would be to restart. This proved to be a bad idea, as the next error I got was "Unknown boot error". Odd in itself, I had enough, and formatted that entire harddrive, reinstalled windows (I have a seperate hard drive that has media on it which is fine so I hope to hook it up to this set up as a secondary, although when I do I get a hal.dll error). The thing I find odd is, when I loaded up the new windows, it goes fine until I try to run anything. Exploring windows works, opening control panel/properties all works, but when I loaded up IE to get video drivers, the computer does 1 of 2 things:
1) Freezes, allowing me to do nothing, or
2) I get a black screen, whilst everything else is functioning (I know because I can hear it refresh when I hit F5).
So next I took out that harddrive all together. Put in another I had with windows x64 on it, which turned out to work, but I was still getting the same type of errors, but they would be delayed longer - it wouldn't be upon immediately opening something, it would be about a minute or two minutes in. After restarting a million times, this eventually stopped happening (No idea why).
Next, I tried to open a game (WOW). This didn't work out well as it turns out, because I got funky lines and bars everywhere (Although the game did load, and I was able to get in), however after a few minutes, it would black out again. After doing this a couple times, I updated my video card drivers, and it did the same thing. Figuring maybe it was overheating, I took the video card out of the slot and got the dust off it and put it back in (Properly and everything). I plugged everything back in and turned it on and .... nothing happened. I know that everythings going - I can hear it, but nothing displays. I looked inside the case and the fan on my video card isn't spinning. I restarted it, looking right at the video card as I do so, and saw that it spun for about half a second, then stopped and did nothing.
I then thought maybe it was because I didn't put it in right, so I took it out, put it back in, but alas it didn't change anything. I then thought maybe it wasn't getting enough power, so I took out everything I didn't need - unhooked the CD drive, took out the sound card, the network card that I really wasn't using anyways, but nothing changed it. I then felt the fan on the video card and it was really hot, so I assume that it is indeed getting power.
I am not entirely sure as too all my computer specs, but here is what I know:
550 Power supply
aTI Radeon 9800 Pro
512 mb DDR ram
AMD (3200?) 2.0 GHZ Processor.
Any help would really really really really be appreciated because I'm completely out of ideas here and searching the interwebs isn't giving me any answers at all.|||Hey bro.. My old video card did the exact same thing. it give me all these line and it turn black. the picture gets fuzzy and than turn black. I removed my video card and install it into a computer at my Technical School. and it does the same think.. and I replace the video card and now.. no more problem..
At first I thought my power supple wasn't giving enough juice, I remove my TV Tuner card, my sound card, remover all my hard drive leaving just one for the OS, removed both Optical drive just leaving the Video card, CPU and Memory running and it was the same soo. Went a head and replace with a new Video card and now Im happy ever since. now I can play Crysis..=P
So you know what that mean.. time to go shopping for the newest, baddest video card.
