How did my graphics card "explode" like it did in the picture I have here? And if I was just plugging into my on-board graphics, why wouldn't the PC boot up like it normally would? It wouldn't come up until I opened the cover and removed the card, that's when I found it like this.
EDIT: If the card was trying to still operate like this for a while, did it run the risk of damaging the PCI-E slot?
