Tried that once before some weeks ago but it wasn't the issue.

Edit: the ram ad in ddr3 ram? Because that is what you mean right?

If you mean reseating the card itself : did that many times

[NumLock21]

No the eyefinity thing was just made and disabled once, and that was it, I never use it.

I will have to send my card to Sapphire in order to get a new one right?

Unless they have advanced RMA, where you provide them your credit card. They will send you a new card first and then you send back your old one. If they don't get it back within a specific amount of time, they charge the price of the new card to your CC.

I think I will do that if the retailer still says my card isn't broken and send it back again.

Also will try to use it at a computer store first.

I only have 2 slots and the second one is x4 but yes, I tried them both.

No use, I tried The Ram and the power cables on the GPU.

It's just wasted energy at this point, because yesterday it was working just fine.
