Hello :0
I was wondering if my graphics card is dead.I experienced this after a blackout and when i went to boot up my comp. Here are the symptoms:
1.When I boot up my comp, my monitor remains black ( cant see nothing)
2.Graphic card fan is not working, hooked up another fan, rebooted comp= still the same prob.
I connected my monitor to the integrated graphics card on my motherboard = comp booted to windows:), so what do you guys think?
 
Well if the GPU worked BEFORE that then it is the GPU. (there are also some things we could try to see if its a driver issue etc as well)
If you just hooked up a new one and it did it then it COULD be a PSU issue or a bad GPU.

With the way you worded your first post it sounds like you have been using it for a spell so it wouldn't be the PSU issue then but a GPU.


My old mans 7600GT once did the blackscreen but the fan still worked...ended up I had to reinstall his drivers and it fixed.
