Monitor & GPU die at the same time???

Hey guys...

So my monitor has been being a bit wonky for the past 6 months or so randomly locking up with a black or white screen. This has been happening with my 5870, laptop and 270x. Today while I was using it all of a sudden the screen seemed to "tear" and parts of it were everywhere all over the screen.

So I turned it off and then back on and it no longer detects a signal on either my desktop or laptop. So I broke out my old monitor and it didn't detect a signal there either.

At that point I swapped out my month old 270x for my old 5870 and the old monitor works fine now.

I have a RMA through Dell on the monitor so that's getting taken care of. And it looks like I'll have to RMA the GPU as well, but if it's my new EVGA 1300w PSU that needs to be taken care of as well. The mobo/cpu and everything else seems to still be running fine so I'm thinking that it's not the problem?


So I'm wondering... Could the monitor (Plugged in with Display Port) have killed the GPU when it went? Or could the card have put the final nail in the coffin of the screen?

Any thoughts?
 
I have never heard of that happening myself....Maybe just a coincidence
 
Quite the coincidence though!

I'll give the 270x a try again in the morning and see if it was just being a bit wonky for a bit.
