Graphics card failure, anything I could try...
- by ILMV
My gaming PC has decided to die, it's not the first time but usually a quick ATX reset brings it back to life. Today it didn't.
I disconnect all unessasary devices so I've only got the case button / LED cables, GPU, CPU, RAM and power connected, the computer still didn't turn on.
I've not got a speaker on my motherboard so found a spare one I have for testing and when the machine starts up I get one long beep and two short beeps from my Award BIOS, which apparently means a video card error. I change it with the GPU from another machine and all works well.
Q: So I have a faulty graphics card (an nVidia 8800GT OC), is there anything I can try to resurect it?
