Greetings, So I already know my graphics card is fried. After having some freezing issues I vacuumed out the dust I reattached the GPU and went about my business. Today my graphics froze twice. After the second time I opened the case and found that I had switched one of the power connections (I think) causing the power current to cause the fan to pull the air into the card. I accidentally put the ground in the right pin and the other on in the left and turned on my computer. So needless to say the power cord to the GPU caught fire and (I am assuming but we all know how that apparently goes) completely fried the card. If it's just the card I can deal with that and reluctantly fork the money for a new graphics. My question to the wise tom's hardware community is this: Could that have fried my motherboard? Will I (if I get a new graphics card and learn how to properly install it) not have to buy a new motherboard?
