Somewhere, in a field in cheshire... alright!
Hello all,

It appears my graphics card, a Geforce 8800 GTS has stopped working. I was playing a game and the screen went a green colour and the pc wouldnt respond. I restarted and when it got to desktop the same thing happened again.

Now from the moment I turn on the pc nothing gets displayed but I can hear the pc load windows XP ok, just nothing is displayed. I've tried another graphics card and all seems ok. Does it sound like a fault with the graphics card?

Thank you.
 
Thanks Wucked.

Can anyone recommend a decent replacement card as cheap as possible that is at least as powerful as the 8800GTS that'll work with a 500w PSU please?
 
The spec is

AMD Athlon64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ 2.20 Ghz
Corsair XMS2 DDR2 2GB
Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3/S3 Motherboard
 
Thanks for the input. I cleaned the cooler but made no difference so went with the MSI HD 7770 GHz Edition 1024MB GDDR5. Should be good enough for the games I play.
