Hi all,
Think my PC is stuffing up video cards.
Changed the standard heatsink on my old MSI Radeon 9800 Pro to a Arctic cooling one, realised it did not fit (duh!) so put standard one back on. Put back in PC, booted, nothing. No output from video card.
Thought I had killed my video card when changing VGA cooler, so bought another. This one already had a Arctic coolong cooler fitted, great!!!.......I thought.
Put in pc, connected correctly, nothing, no output, same as my card???????
Tried in a mates pc. Same.
Tried his old Ti4200 in mine, fine.
Tried all following:
Different power leads
Reset CMOS (thought it might help...)
Still nothing, and I am now left with TWO dead video cards.....
Before I rush out and buy another (or throw my PC out of window in desperation(!), does anyone know why this might be happenening?
Is my PC killing these cards, and how?
PLease help, before I go bald!!!
Ta all in advance.
Phil
