Hi there all,

I have a Nvidia 7300 GS graphics card, and the drivers were installed etc. I was using it with the white plug cable for HD/DVI for almost a year. Last week, I took the fan off of my pc to clean off the dust and put it back.

After that, the screen wouldn't come on. So to test things I did the following:

1. Tested another pc with the screen - Success
2. Tested another Pc with the graphics card : Success
3. Bought a normal VGA cable (blue plug) - Semi Successful

Ok, so I am not sure what has happened to the graphics card. Is it possible that the HD/DVI slot on the card itself could have blown due to static? The Normal VGA slot on the graphics card works fine. I am using an older box screen with this pc as we speak. But for some reason when I plug in the LCD screen (Samsung Syncmaster 23000) nothing happens. Yet when I plug the Box screen into the VGA slot, the box screen works fine and boots up as normal. But the flatscreen refuses to.

I have checked the drivers in device manager, and it says that it's working fine.

Also, in control panel, it sees the samsung 7300 Gs, but refuses to save the settings for a preview.

Any help would be appreciated.
