Okay, so I've had two faulty graphics cards, one after the other from EVGA since building my new system over a month ago. Now, it seems unlikely that I'd be unlucky enough to get one bad card after the other, especially from EVGA, so I thought it might be my motherboard.
Since I don't know any other way of testing my motherboard's PCI-e slot, to see if it's damaging the cards, I figured I'd put my really old Geforce 7100GS in, and see if that breaks, as I can spare it. But being so old compared to the rest of the rig, is there a chance it could do more harm than good?
That's pretty much all I need to know. Thanks for any replies.
