Hi,

i think my GPU is burned out or it just died, but it doesnt smell like burned electronics... ( geforce 9600 gso)
when i start my pc with gpu pluged in, im getting garbled screen or whatever it is called, with lots of horizontal lines at startup...and after loading windows i get white screen with lines, and multiple colors shapes etc...

my pc runs fine wih the onboard video card...
so, can it be the problem with gpu or motherboard or slot... ?

pc froze while playing mmo game, and after that im having this problem.... :(

It does sound like the memory on your GPU has gone bad. I've had the same thing happen to one of my older video cards (HD4670) a couple years ago.

While I don't think there is any issue with your PCIe port, if you can get your hands on a working video card it can't hurt to test out the port with said card.
