I left my computer on last night, and this morning I couldn't get a signal to come through the monitor. I shut down, rebooted, and got a BIOS response indicating a hardware problem with the video card or monitor input. I have had this problem a couple times before, although it would reboot normally and I would have a video signal again. It's an AMD 6790 card on a gigabyte motherboard both not more than a year or two old.
I have had the video crash while gaming semi-regularly, every 4-6 hours of game time or so, but always attributed it to software problems with the game. Are these symptoms of a shot card? I tried removing just to clean the contact points but those nasty little PCIE levers wont let it go. Thank you.
