So, just came home and turned on my monitor just to find that there was no change, I figured the computer was off for some reason but no, it was on.

Restarted it, nothing shows up on the monitor, it posts and keyboard/mouse light up.

I removed my gpu, inspected it, found nothing, put it back in, same problem, no video output.

I moved the video cord to the other output on the back of the video card, boot the computer.

Now I see the classic startup screens, only with white dots scattered all over, at this time i Pissed myself, fearing that the video card is fried.

The booting processes continues, I get into the windows welcome screen and BSOD.


So, I went into my lil brothers room, beat him up for his 8800GTS :D , plug it in, works fine.

So, Diagnosis confirmed? (The 8800GTX is fried?) :confused:

Hope it still has warranty. :(
 
Uh if you registered... and you're talking about the EVGA GTX... then you should have a lifetime warranty...

Yeah yeah, don't make fun of me :p I haven't had to worry about any hardware in a long time.

But about the gpu, diagnosis confirmed?

Not yet, 01:30 AM here, wont piss him off more until tomorrow. Looks like the GTX is still under full warranty, I sent evga a message about it, It looks like I'll have to RMA it.
 
I'd say it went bad, just shoot EVGA a phone call or email and they will get you fixed up.
