Hi, having a mini crisis after my graphics card may have just packed up. I've been overclocking my CPU (thead in the OC forum) and that was going fine, jsut a couple of problems with voltages being too low. I had 4Gb of ram (4x1Gb) and removed the two newest sticks from the mobo, (Having turned off the PSU) turned back on, and there was no signal from the graphics card. Turned it off and on again. Removed and reinserted the graphics card, stuck the ram back in, unplugged and removed the BIOS battery, all to no avail.
The LED on the card flashes like it always did, the monitor still works, at least through its VGA input. Tried the other DVI output on the back of the card, nothing.

Short of trying another PC, is there anything I can do to test my graphics card? :3

Specs: Asus P5B
E6600
X1950XT
4Gb PC6400 ram.
 
Thanks for the reply, but after messing around, I managed to get something out of it.
In fact, I think I've been a total numpty as it all seems fine, and I think the problem was caused by the monitor going into analogue power saving mode. Turned it back to digital and its working ¬_¬

I think we can chalk this up to user stupidity. At least this time ;)
