So this morning I turn on my PC, walk out of the room get distracted, come back in about 40 minutes and find my monitor unresponsive. Thinking at first this was a monitor issue I fiddle with the plugs, reboot and no cigar. I boot her up in vga mode and find that this works. I uninstall the video drivers and now she'll boot up just fine, the only problem being now I don't have a working video card. I do a driver cleanup and install new drivers, same problem as before (screen goes blank after PC startup.) Try the same thing with the drivers which came on the Driver CD and again no luck.
So now my computer works fine without any video drivers, so my question is: Is this really what I think it is? Is my GPU just completely screwed and do I have to replace it? Or could there be some other hidden problem I'm not seeing here?
