Help! 9800pro just stopped working

[Rang]

I have a 9800pro with vga silencer. I was just playing wow and the screen went black. Now it wont even post. The card isnt overclocked and wasnt even hot. What should I do?

May be SOL... I'd try removing the card, cleaning the AGP contacts, reseating it and making sure the power connector is also properly connected.

I had a 9800 Pro that died in the same manner also had VGA silencer on it. Put a Zalman on the replacement 9800 Pro, haven't had any problems since. Tried it in another computer, wouldn't even post. My guess is you will have to buy another 3D card for you computer.

If you don't plan on upgrading soon (within 6-8 months) you could spring for a 6600GT for $140, or you could try for a 6800GS for $230, both at the Egg.
