I had Just recently had my PC lock up with no sign of life, i immediately thought the power supply went, but saw the green light still on so then thought the motherboard and went and bought a new one and put everything back together and still no response.. no fans no post. So my friend said must be a vid card and I never heard of that having fried many of cards in the past but after pulling everything out as for expansions and memory and then had fans and post. so put them back in one by one until I didn't get a response again and then found the culprit.. one of my 8500 GT's was dead.

I've never heard of that, anyone else ever have this or is it a freak thing?
