HD3650 in 5920G doesn't boot

Hi,

First of all, I searched almost all the internet but I couldn't find anything about my problem. I hope NetRoller read this

Well, the fact is that I have an old Acer 5920G (Not mine) to which I baked the graphics card (GT8600M 512Mb) three times till now, when the card say goodbye definitely.

After read all over the forums, I bought an ATI HD3650 256MB DDR3 and I installed it yesterday. I had to put a little piece of copper to make the card have contact with the cooler.

After that I turn my pc and everything seemed to be ok, so I downloaded ATI drives and installed them. I reboot and... ops, after windows logo, screen starts to go blank (in lines), and then black ( https://www.dropbox.com/s/7d1lyfvndjkzhqb/2015-02-14 19.56.03.jpg?dl=0). I thought that maybe could be a rest of nvidia, so I formatted windows 7, but then, after windows logo, screen doesn't work and I can't finish install 7.

I tried to install 8 and yeeeah, it works, at least sometimes, because in the most cases screen goes again like in the photo, but when it works, it goes fine, I don't understand what's happening.

Need I to put a modded BIOS (which one?). What could be happening? Wrong drivers? I know that it is an old notebook, but for what it is needed it's ok, and... is more a matter of stubbornness to fix it. I wish someone could help me

Thaank you!

 

It's pretty old GPU already so it could be faulty. Granted it should be doing this all the way, not only in Windows, but those are the first signs I guess.

 

Yes... That was one of my thoughts, that the card was faulty...

I think that I'll end up returning the card...

thank you!
