Hey guys, I was tuning my pc to perfection inside my case today.. added a badass hyer 6 with dual thermaltake smartfan 2 which moved ALOT of air.... anyways I rewireed everything and stuff and it lo0oked heela great... but I didn't insert my AGP card correctly... my dear 6800Ultra.... I didnt get any signal when I powered up.. but everything powered up just fine.. but no signal.. I then took off my side panel....jsut to see that y 6800ultra's fan was not moving..and the card itself was not powered up....

a reset and I smell a puff of smoke.. coming right underneath the videocard and I even stuck my nose in there..and it was from the videocard.. or as I thought it was.. I was shaking in my pants... BIG TIME.... then I took it out and put it in my emachine system which I toss my old antec psu in..and it worked!!! OMFG was I happy or WUT!!!

So Can you guys help me with what's wrong? I am thinking the AGP SLOT of burnt... and DEAD.... even tried another card in there and still no go.... I know my cpu is working and everything else since they all power on and eevrything.. except the videocard.. So an RMA with my motherboard is the first thing to do right? since the v/c is not dead and everything... thank god gigabyte has a fast rma service...
 
please anyone? I am starting to think it's my cpu now..I am so freaking scared.....the hyper 6 might've crushed the cpu??? but then everything powers up except no video signal and I dont hvae a pci card in hand..and there was a burnt smeel coming from underneath the videocard... which would be a dead agp slot.. :confused: please help..I beg you guys..please..
 
Had the same problem not to long ago, couldnt get a computer to show signel no matter what. You know what it was? I simply unplugged and replugged in the IDE hard drive's cable, and BAM working again, dont know what was up with it. The card was a 6800GT.
 
skyring, I jsut figured that out a few seconds ago....I had it plugged into my dead dvd drive dude....... instead of my working cd burner...it wouldnt even post, but now it does...e my post and when the hard drive loads windows up and read from cd drive to boot from my xp disk.. I tested it..and all was good.. but my agp slot is still dead....I fiddled with it somehow...or the lil "anti-burn" slot protector thing crap probably got loose... but anyways..I now confirm it is the agp slot and is now trying to get a rma :) woot they don't make k8n pros nforce 150's anymore :) probably send me a replacement k8ns pro nforce 250 woot woot..... :p

and now I know my cpu ins't dead...and that hyper 6 is gonna rock when I get my new board hehe
