o.k i got it off and replaced it with a zalman but my monitor won't come back on. hooked everything up right and the fan works but no monitor. even reseated the card a couple of times. any thoughts?
no, not posting. all i did before was reseat the card. unplug and replug mouse into diffferent usb port, unplug and replug keyboard connector, change fan connector from 5v to 12v. when i put the card in pc booted up and ran all day. i left for an hour and when i got home screen was blank again. friend is bringing over another video card to try.
Your friends card is going to work, unless he fries it on the way over. Try your card after you seat his don't install any drivers btw. Sometimes that works.
