[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] For fun today as I'm pretty sure my graphics card has given up the ghost, but I hereby submit the facts to you lot for a collective second opinion. Basically, when I try and reboot, I get a long beep and two short (which my MB manual says means "monitor or graphics card error") and surprise, surprise, there's no signal on either the monitor or the TV (which is liked via a VGA lead.) The PC is defiantly booting properly as I can hear the windows start-up sounds from the speakers and the monitor itself seams to know the difference between this and having the cable unplugged from the card (yes I checked all the connections.) I also removed and remounted the RAM and graphics card, the latter, as I discovered had it's fan CAKED is dust (the damn thing faces down so I couldn't really see the state it was in until after I'd taken it off.) I carefully cleaned up the fan and heatsink but still beeping and no video. Anyone have any bright ideas, or do I need to go graphics card shopping? Actually, now that I think about it, I did notice some weird graphics problems while playing ME2 the other day; purple...stuff at the edge of the screen, more frequent crashes where before it had been pretty damn stable. Yeah, I think it's cooked... [/QB][/QUOTE]
