first off, hello all (i'm new here)
second thing, i was using my pc and was on the desktop when the mouse cursor froze,infact everything froze no comand would work, so i rebooted.
on reboot there was no display, i tried for loose conections and the tft works and displays no conection when unplugged from the gpu.the pc starts normaly otherwise, no beeps or whistles just no image.
so was that the death of my 8800gts 320mb card? the card was untouched by me but was factory over clocked,and has been used nearly everynight since i got it (2 years seem right???).
i borrowed a laptop to see what new GPU i can get and spent hours choosing a replacement, then realised it may not be the gpu but something else maybe? money is tight but i can afford a 4850, just dont want to blow it on the wrong item.
any help or info please, tia
