PCTech Forums

i accidently switch the plug of to my pc while it was on. afterwards i switched my pc on but no display, therefore i thought my graphics card had given up. so just to make sure i put my card in a friends pc and it works in his, and his card works in my pc. so i put mine back but same result as before. so im currently using his card and he is using mine... anyone no why this is so?

thanks

Is the PC booting - can you hear the beeps, and the floppy kick in?
If not, sounds like the same problem I had - motherboard kaputt.

What make is your mobo?

Thats really a confusing one, if its working with a different video card it not the mobo at all. I need to know hardware specs though, what video card is no longer working in your machine and what video card is. My first thought is the power connection going to a pci-e card and something happening there but we need more details on what your using.

my card is a 256mb 8600gt and his is a 1024mb 8600gt. both are powered by the mobo, what other details would u like liljim?
