Hello!

This is driving me crazy. I Have an GTX 295, E8500 and P35-DS3R which has been working perfect for about 2 years. But then today, suddenly, the monitor wont show any picture. Just "Out of signal".

The computer boots just ok because I can hear the windows welcome sound and I can browse the shared folders from my laptop. But no picture. I've tried 3 diffrent monitors too, neither of them gets a signal.

I've clared CMOS, tried diffrent DVI-cables and replugged the GFX several times.
I'm using an old 8800GTS 512 now and its working perfect.

Anyone have any clue?
 
No, theres absolutely no signal at all, the monitor doesn't get any signal at boot screen.
But windows is booting just find in the background I can hear on the speakers.

Using the 8800GTS now and its good.

But IF the GTX 295 is dead, wouldn't the computer give away some sort of alarmbeep?
Also, can GFX's just destroy them self like this over a night?

Thanks in advance!

wondering if everything on the graphics card is fully operational, except for the last part, the actual connector for the DVI output, or the circuitry for this area, so as far as the pc and graphics card are concerned, they are working ok, just the last part of the signal output device is failed.

you tried both DVI connectors?

Yup, also the card has a green light lit if thats any help.
I've tried both DVI-I connections and the HDMI, but no improvment.

How are Gigabyte handling RMA's? Anyone been in contact?
