SOURCE: Is my Motherboard compatible?

Probably not. There is not quite enough information in your post to really help, but from what I'm finding on the GeForce 6800 GT, it is only available in PCI-Express and AGP 8x (AGP3.0) Versions. Your motherboard only supports AGP 1x, 2x and 4x (AGP2.0) cards.

SOURCE: GeForce 6800 Fan Stopped?

Greetings!
Remove the graphic card from the board, at the top of the fan of your graphic card there is a sticker remove it slowly, then put a small amount of oil (the finner oil for machine) in it, turn the fan so that oil may goes to the bearings.

Return the sticker, and install the graphic card on the board.
Thanks

SOURCE: GeForce 8600 GT 256MB DDR3 PCI Express Graphics Card doesn't work

contact the shop / place you purchased it from and they should be able to give you info of where to send it and what to do - they should have a section on there website where you can go through the return process and you will most likely need to get an RMA number to authorise the return / replacement.

SOURCE: Iam using XFX Nvidia

If the pc works the same when you boot in Safe Mode then the video card has failed - buy a new one.
If the pc works in Safe Mode then the video driver is corrupted - uninstall it then reboot normally then go here and download the latest available driver.

It might be a case of simply downloading and installing the latest drivers for your graphics card. Go to www.nvidia.com and click their download drivers button. Then select your card form the list and download and install the latest drivers. Heat could also be an issue. Ensure that the cooler is clean of dust and that the fan is running smoothly. Install additional fans in your chassis if possible, as graphics cards tend to give off the most heat in a computer system. Also clean the gold fingered connectors of the graphics card with tissue paper. Set the graphics of the game down a bit, it is possible that the card is not able to cope with the load it is set to run at. Reducing the graphics may help.

Take care!

I have a EVGA 9800gt Akimbo and my system wont even give the post beep, all it does is everything powers up and the fan on the card sounds like it goes full blast but nothing happens, did I get a bad card?...

Hello there, I am the Expert that will be helping you today. My name is damnor01.

Welcome to Fixya.

Try using onboard VGA, install the RAM modules one at a time apon powing up.
Install the Graphics Card in a Friends computer to test if it works.

See my published guide it is entitled My Computer is not turning on!!! Is it dead!!! No POST!!!
It gives you a better understanding of what you should do to try and get it going.

If you are still experirencing problems it most likely a faulty mainboard, claim warranty support.

Happy Testing and Happy Gaming, For the Win!

Thanking you kindly

920-fan command 2 pin connector from power supply not connected I have replace my power supply..but my new power supply didnt have the 2 pin..

Well thats not good, however if you can identify the Positive, usually RED, and Negative, usually BLACK. on the Fan, You can actually carefully insert the bared wire into a spare drive power connector, fans are all 12 V. You can use the YELLOW.. +12V & the alongside BLACK - 0V. This will power your fan. BE CAREFUL doing this. Once inserted use a piece of tape to secure the wires and fold them back against the Plug and secure. You may be able to buy a converter that plugs into that power connector & the fan?

New graphics card has extremely noisy fan

It's probably a Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT
I'm wondering if it is new. Older cards do sometimes have fans that fail. Unfortunately, they are usually fans with bushings, not bearings, and when they fail, there's not much you can do about it. Yes, I have lubed them and it helped for a while. If you do that, I'd use a really light oil, like a sewing machine oil, and very little of it.
Heck, it's loud now, so you really can't hurt it!
Let me know what happens. You can click on my name and choose "ask me" if you need to contact me.
