I have almost certainly killed the integrated graphics on my Intel DG45FC mini-itx motherboard while swapping the CPU cooler, but the rest of the motherboard may be ok. Can you suggest a cheap (UK £), half-height, pcie x 1 Gen 2.x graphics card (VGA or DVI necessary) which would work with this board to let me (1) confirm or reject my diagnosis, and (2) get my SSD sys-prepped for a new motherboard? I also use Intel E8500 CPU, 220W PSU, Samsung EVO 840 750GB. Ideally the card would be easily available on eBay UK.
Hope this is all the info you need but apologies if not - I have only used integrated graphics and may not understand all the issues involved yet.
Many thanks for any suggestions.
