Do I need another graphics card ?
|
|
Hi,
In september last year I had lines all down screen and coloured squares(ATI all-in-wonder 9800 pro)I thought it might be the monitor and changed with another and there was no problem.I phoned a local shop here and the guy said it was the graphics card,I searched all over the net and couldnt track one down anywhere,now when I put it into the shop the guy said he got one in the shop,he charged £66,I still think he used my old card but I could be wrong anyway to cut a long story short 7 months now and the same things happened,I'm sure he said I had a years guarantee,is he likely to charge me again if he has to put another one in or should that be covered,I want to be certain of my rights before I phone tomorrow.

A graphics card should last longer than 7 months. He should change it without an argument. Incidentally, when you buy a graphics card, you don't have to buy exactly the same one as the one you already have. You can always upgrade to a better one.

Thanks greysts,will phone tomorrow and see what he says,I was just worried in case he wanted to put something dearer in and try and charge for time etc.maybe I am just being cynical,but when a woman goes into a pc shop,I think they wont try and con a man the same.
