Dead Video Card?

Sum_12_fear · 31-October-05, 10:49 AM

Well guys I'm pretty sure the Video card in my old rig has finally up and died on me. If I remember right its a GeForce 2 MX I booted up this morning and the display was messed up the somebody had screwed up the drivers. So I uninstalled the drivers, rebooted, then tried to install them again. Nvidia setup program said detected no compatible hardware. Windows HArdware manager and Belarc advisor confirmed it now exists solely as an unknown VGA device. So I guess I'm going to have to replace it any ideas on anyhting I could have overlooked. By the way no OC at all on this system.

Try the card in another system and try inserting another card in this system just to be sure of the source of the problem.
