I added a water block to my Saphire 4870, but now when I boot computer the card doesnt work anymore. I can only run windows when I uninstall the radeon driver. Most likely I damaged the video car at some points when I was removing the heat sink and adding the water block, but I want to make sure this is the case before I buy a new video card. Any other possibilities that might cause this?
could also be that water leaked onto the card, accidently..
