PLEASE HELP!
I wouldn't ordinarily start a thread with these words - but i have somehow managed to break my video card.
Radeon 4870 HD - updated driver and was running game fine after reboot.
turned pc off ... then about an hour later turned back on and the fan on the card went crazy non-stop "wherring" and nothing came up on screen and no power to keyboard or mouse.
tried a few different things - took card out, reset bios, - now if the card is plugged into motherboard, i get nothing - no bios screen, no boot.
not sure what i can do from here ... is the card stuffed?
unfortunately i do not have onboard video for MB ... so need to get a cheap card just to get pc working again.
any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
(to clarify - the drivers were the latest from the ati site 4800 series.)
