Extreme screen flickering across entire PC

[Epsilonn]

One reason why I would never recommend purchasing a pre built PC, any warranty period is between yourself and the merchant that sold you the computer and any warranty period for individual parts used in the build was between the system builder and the hardware manufacturer, there is no warranty agreement between any third party ( the purchaser) and the hardware manufacturer for any parts used in the build, if you ever have any success with such a warranty claim it is normally a good will gesture on behalf of a hardware manufacturer.

The above is basically because warranties are not transferable.

Yeah I figured as much. As I mentioned the seller is no longer listed as one, so I don’t think there’s anything left for us to do in this particular case.

I found a support page for Nvidia cards that would otherwise be relevant to this issue but like you mentioned I don’t think it applies since the graphics card was resold in a prebuilt through an unpartnered buyer ( Collecting logs for display issues (flicker/blank screen/missing display modes) | NVIDIA ). I may still go through with what’s listed in the support page just to be helpful but sadly I don’t think there’s any fixing the card.

We only bought this prebuilt because it was an extremely good deal, the whole PC was about as expensive as the graphics card alone usually would be (ironically enough since the card broke lol)

@Epsilonn - any progress?

There is nothing left to do regarding the card as they won’t accept warranty.

bugger!.
nothing else now except to get another card!

Yeah. It’s unfortunate. It hasn’t been of great importance since there’s an old 1060 we’ve been able to use in the meantime. Just a big downgrade from the 3060.

no worries.
let’s close this for now and you can PM any staff member to have it re-opened if you wish.
good luck.
