how can i tell if my gts is broken? i have thermalright hr-03 plus on it. i was having no problem before, just high temps 79-80 because im not using any fan and i used the thermal compound that came w/ it. then today my ordered fans and artic silver 5 came so i reinstalled the hr-03. i reseated the heatsink and apply AS5 on it. At first, things were great as my temps lowered to 45-48 idle. i even played crysis for 20 mins and notice that my load temp is just 56. after playing i left my computer idling on the desktop for awhile then when i came back it was shutdown so i turn it on again, but now my desktop is showing artifacts all over the place so i decided to shutdown my computer then removed the card from the pci slot then put it back again. then the worst thing happen my computer won't load the os even the bios when the card was on it. so now im left using my onboard vga. do you think my gts is busted? sorry for the long post. hope i mentioned enough details for you guys to help me out. thanks a lot.
