I wouldn't see why it would burn out. Unless it turned to molten lava or something. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

| If all it is that the card is defective I don't see how it would harm the rest of your system unless you're a big ape trying to insert it. You just wouldn't be able to see anything. Are you sure there's no cooling on it? Kind of odd to get a video card without any type of cooling | ||

| If the card has a short in it, you could potentially kill your Motherboard. I have and old K6-2 with an AGP slot..maybe you have something like that to test with (Or a friend with one) Your chances of killing good hardware is 50/50 since you know nothing about what went wrong with it originally....I have seen a few people loose CPU's, Motherboards and Power supplies testing "Suspect" hardware. Nobody ever throws away good hardware that new, without a reason ![]() | ||
