Graphics Card Problem
Hi,
I just cleaned out my computer of all dust and when I reattached all the cables the graphics card would run really fast along with other stuff running fine, then eventually shut down. The monitor would not turn on either or rather not display anything because of the graphics card. This never happened before and was working completely fine before I started cleaning, I don't think I broke anything aside from maybe part of a fan (Long story) but I don't see how that could affect the graphics card. Some things I have tried doing to see if it fixes it:
- Changing to the other PCI Express port.
- Changing the graphics card to an older one.
- Changing the cables.
- Unplugging and replugging the power cables many times.
- Tried unplugging different fans to see if that changed it.
All of these still ended up with the same problem, it is pissing me off as I need the computer urgently for some documents.
Any help me greatly appreciated.
