Hello,
I was at a LAN on Friday playing away, when my PC suddenly restarted for no apparent reason, I sat there scratched my head and waited for the BIOS screen to come up. Nothing, just stayed a black screen, so I plug the screen into the onboard graphics to see whats up. This time everything starts normally.
I just ran tests with older video cards to see whether the PCIE port died, but it works fine.
The model is a MSI GTX580 Lighting, all the lights on it light up still and the pc runs normal with and without it plugged in.
I am lost whether there is something simple wrong, or whether the card is dead like I suspect.
Any comments are greatly appreciated.

Why do you need us to tell you what you already know?
