Could my graphics card have died?
Seeing as no-one was replying to my thread in the Hardware section, I thought I'd repost it here:
First of all, please read the first part here, otherwise you might miss something out with whether it can be fixed or not: monitor problems after installing new RAM
To cut a long story short, I did got a BSOD later on - after I first put the new RAM in correctly (which is included in the previous post). I didn't think it was related at first, but now I get the feeling it might be.
I've got two GeForce 8800GTS' via SLi. When I plug my monitor in the bottom card, it works (but it says it's not attached to an NVIDIA GPU, and there's no Aero etc. - although I can up the res to 1280x1024, so it's not like SafeMode in that respect), but when I plug it in to my top card - the one I've always used - the monitor doesn't come on.
So does that mean my graphics card has died? It can't really be dislodged, as both cards are pretty much firmly fixed in place.
