GTX 295 No Signal

[Néar]

Gainward GeForce GTX 295 1792MB GDDR3 PCI-Express Graphics Card (Dual PCB)

Hiper 880W HPU-4M880 SLi Certified ATX 2.2 Power Supply


After having the card a year keeping my pc fairly clean with decent cooling

iv done some googling saying the card doesnt like dualcore's ( with having a dualcore 6600 2.4Ghz )
think thats causing some games crashing after 20/30 - 1hr or possibly a bad PSU with higher end games

Also with the known driver issue, i back dated to a 12 month old driver just to keep out of that driver era then updated after it clear'd

temps gpu1 90/100 gpu2 85/90
i thought was abit high

anyway after cleaning the pc ( worried about the noise generation ) cleaned the fan on the GTX with cotton buds + rest of the pc came to start it up and got -no signal- from the gfx made sure everything was plugged in ok still no luck + formatted no luck, put my old 8800 in works fine.

any suggestions ? (1 year left on guarantee on 295 / and probs 4years left on PSU ) got them both at the same time

Firstly Hiper have gone bust so you have no warrenty except the year offered by the place of purchase. Secondly if you have absolutely no signal then you may have had a static build up, removing the card subsiquently looks to have blown it. I suggest returning the card bud.

Testing

What methods could i take to assure that its the card not hardware? dont want to have to pay gainward cash for checking the card for me..

i guess it would be fine to try it in another pc?

forgot to note the card does seem to power up normaly it isnt just completely dead, dont know how much damage if it is, static blow can do.
