(Computer specs at bottom of post)
I think my Asus Geforce 770 is probably dead.
I had a computer build disaster some time ago where I basically wired up my graphics card to the Sata socket on my modular power supply rather than the correct PCI express socket. This blew the motherboard which I've now replaced.
I have the system up and running but it doesn't seem to detect the graphics card
The card powers on, the fans spin and it has two green lights, one above each of the power wires.
Things I've tried to get it to work
I tried installing the drivers from the disk (planning to get the new ones from the nvidia website afterwards) but it wouldn't seem to do anything. I guess it needs to detect the card to install at all?
I updated the bios using the official ASUS bios update program.
I tried a different PCI slot
I've tried wiring it up with a single 8 pin to two 6 + 2 pin cable heads and it turned on with that
Then I tried wiring it up with two 8 pin to two 6+2 pin cable heads - using one head so it was drawing power from two sockets of my modular PSU. Still worked but didn't register.
However just now it came up with a scary blue screen error message. This didn't come up when it was just plugged into one wire.
Oh and now it's doing it with one wire too. Great.
This is a picture of the error message.

Whatever I do I can't see any driver installation messages or anything popping up in device manager.
Thus far I'm assuming the card is dead and that's the cause of the blue screen crash.
Have I missed something or do I need to buy a new card?
Thanks for any help you can give.
