Hi friends!
Well I feel a little bit stupid by asking this, but here I go...

I just touched by accident the back of my graphics card (a gigabyte radeon 290x) with the nail of my finger.
It was in the welding points I guess.

So... the card is ruined? you know maybe for the static or grease or something?
:(

Did you scratch it like a cat or pressed the nail hard into the GPU? If the answer is no, then your GPU is alright. Get a pic of your GPU from net and tell where exactly did you put your nail.
If you've touched it, its all fine.

Ok, it was just a short contact, I was checking if one ram memory was inserted correctly. I touched it in the pins, near the "CE" letters.

You're all good, no need to worry, it won't do any sort of damage until you stab the card with that nail and then scratch the PCB off :)
