need help

[eckndu]

I spend 50 bux on "shipping" and waited 2 months for my old E6800GT to get repaired only to forget to attach that extra pcie power cord, now its been nearly 3 months later and the card stopped to work, (again).

thank god i have an integrated video on board during this exam time i just want to know whatr the change that i can still use that card, i dont want to upgrade it or it will just create a bottleneck.

i dont understand how for the last 3 months its been fine but all of sudden it stoped to work, even kb and mouse werent powered

I would be very surprised if the card is damaged because you didn't plug the extra power plug in. Lots of times people forget to do this and no adverse affects.

If it doesn't work now and you don't even have KB or mouse powered, something else is amiss - PSU, MB etc.

y thanks, that's more assuring.
i dont know what else could be wrong, but the machine seems ok now with the integrated video adapter... (all i did is removing the card)
