Copied from my thread in the Tech Support subforum.. don't know how many people actually go there though so I'll paste it here also I've never had a video card die on me before, so I figured before I rushed out and bought a new one I'd just run this by you peeps with more experience than me to confirm if it is actually dead. I was playing a game the other day and my monitor just went black suddenly. The monitor is getting power, but for some reason it just stopped registering the fact that it was connected to a computer (it went straight to sleep mode). Being the industrious fellow I am, I hooked my wife's monitor up to my computer to try and isolate the problem, and the same result, the monitor just goes to sleep mode and doesn't register any signal from the PC. I'm sure everything is hooked up correctly and my PC is on etc. but no signal. Does this sound like a dead video card? The only reason I'm hesitent is I thought video cards died gradually, getting more and more hosed up as time went on, not just all of a sudden cutting the signal to the monitor from the PC. Is there anything else I can try, or am I S.O.L.? Also, can goons recommend a nice, cheap-ish video card to me? I don't need cutting edge but I do like to play some newish PC games once in a while. Thanks in advance!
