Avoid buying from Barclays!

[coolshano]

Sorry for interrupting your postings.

What happened to you is a sad think. In fact they are fairly decent IT shop. The card you got must have had a manufacturing defect. The PSU you are using can support 4870x2/2GB. Some have advised to buy PSU sold at Rs.1,950. These PSU cannot start your VGA. You cannot get even a 300W PSU for that price. Therefore the buyers should know what they are buying before buying. Some seem not knowing that.

This does not mean you don’t get shops to supply high end VGA Cards. You get but many prefer to go to the lowest price or place that provides it at a low price. They do not think of the repercussion of after sales. Even if you had purchased through the NET it could be the same if some think like this had taken place, since you have to send it at your expense. When your cargo goes through the local customs and in the instance of a faulty item will have duty payable twice including for the replacement. Since duty or tax is waived off only for items that come back with the same serial number.

Therefore select your product and shop not on price but based on service.

Guys, mata ubalage duka therenawa, cos i was in da same shit.
Machan Unity eken baduwak (PC part) ganiddi kauruhari un adurana, ubata sure ekek ekka palayan. Mama oke Barkleys eke ,unity system eke, media center eke,... oya hamathama wage aya aduranawa. but when comes to time of replacement or warranty case, godak places walin matath une oyatikama thamai.
On those cases we need someone who know us inside it, Luckily i got Rishad in Unity system and IFthy in Media Center, I knew them. Sathiyak dekak wadeta giyath kohamahari wade karala dunna un.
Mama kiyanne ubala dannawane dan okkama unge tharama, ekanisa ubala kauru hari adurana sure ekek ekkkama palayalla. Hamotama adurana eun nathi nisa mewage thanakin wat chat karala hoyaganinla.
Mata meke comment ekak danna hithuna reason eka thamai, api godak welawata loku capacity walata kamati (1G z better than 512m vga, 3GHZ better than 2.66GHz) ewagema thamai good brand names, (eg, Asus z better than gygabite...) and for big prices, ( we though when something z high price, it z da thing) but Most of u guys r wrong, 1st v must c our requirement, then our budjet. then api select karanne hari ekamada kiyala verify karaganna ona. ( ethhanadi thamai api ahu wenne, ethanadi computer HW danna ekekge udaw ganin, mokada ape ayyala kamathi 9400gt 1GB ddr2 VGA ekak ganna 8600GT 512 ddr2 ekakata wada, mokada un mewaye hari wenasa danne na.)
My last words z, PC part ekak ganna yanna kalin internet ekenwat poddak HW specification balala yanna, Unity eke okkkkama places ekawage nisa Lowest price ekak thiyena, wadima waranaty period ekak dena ubala hoyagen apu specification thiyena part eka ganna. Ehema ganna part eka gedara kotte uda thiyan dum alla thiyanne nathiwa pattta gahapalla. U may not believe me, my pc works atleast 20hours per day, so mata dukak na meka auruddakata passe kadila sathi dekak witara waranty walata arunge passe awiddata.

Part ekak gatta dawasema wage kadunot apitath dukai, mala paninawa ethakota, mata dukai ~v3n0m~ ta wechcha deta. Eka ape luck eka kiyala hithahan macho.

thanks a lot for the information machan. they would definitely become helpful to a lot of ek users.

yes machan. thanks. i have seen that happening. they are selling PSU with low wattage. all they want is to sell their product. they dont think about the compatibility

First of all, that's bad luck.

But I have a question. What is the power supply unit u used? Because, usually if it is a VGA card fault, it will crash the driver, NOT the whole PC. Crysis is a real stress tester for the VGA. For example, I can't run my VGA at 700MHz clock with Crysis, but can do 720MHz with many games. Every time when it becomes unstable, Windows unloads the driver and restarts the driver with default clocks and you are done.

And, it is true that these dumbasses don't know much about PC stuff than the regular Joe, and that is a FACT. Can't really do anything about that. I know, it is sad, but that is the way it is. You can't compare one with another, because ALL OF THEM ARE THE SAME!!!

Barclays eken I also went to buy a dust cover. It was Rs. 1300/=. But at Unity it is 300/=. I didnt go there again after that.

Machan I have the same experience with the Kobian Technologies.
Don't but if we think all the sellers about like this then where we can buy
technology ?

that was my computer after I did A/L that was MK77 AMD board. brand is AOpen.
he he. Everyone who knows this board knows what is the fault. it restarts after the shutdown. sometimes there the only way to shutdown is just from the power supply. However , they fist tried to shap from that problem since they thinks that I'm a kid. But I call the head office and write to the AOpen email this.
Then wonder they agree me to replace a same speed intel original machine.
Then I they silienced me , however can you talk about this after that ?

however I knew that they continue that selling that board again and again. The ppl who not very much familiar with the technology are just be silienced with that problem they someone even doesn't know their rights.

so not only that barkplace others are also. and technology and the software
is too much of bugs. write to the main company like I did , sometimes they will
pay you for being silient ( like Kobian did that favour to me ).and you should be
luckey and stay slow otherwise those big-stomach managers and trade ppl will
kill you but talk about the rights.

yeh!!! so many incidents. but people hardly get a to hear them. thats maybe why this kind of incidents are still happening in those stores.

one correction they choose the wrong country for this ! Now our ppl are technologically advanced and knows what are the internals of the CPU
parts. now the things get changed , I have a experience about this. that is
on the PC house while I'm taking a qutoation , a 8 grade ( I know him personally )
brother come and ask the shop about a processor , at that time there are two
processors LGA that are supports HT and not supports HT. He asks from the shop
all the information about the processor. I wonder he asked fully techinical details,not the questions that we just ask like what are the cache sizes and ,

he asked a deeply question about the HT and the superscaler a ? ( in other
words is windows xp supported HT technology ? ) . well the sales person
gives a complete ambitious answer that he explained how two cores in the same die processors can be used to exploit the paralism. and it's not the HT technology and it's complete nonsense.

that kid get underestood that this brother doesn't know the answer correctly
and said I will see and come.

so he is a one who studied the computer hardware internals and achitecutre
very deeply , in other words they will not be able to cheat to the next
generation.
