Blown Radeon?

[rcrmb]

I had my case and power supply replaced due to damage caused by a shipping company. I took in the machine to have it checked out and damaged parts replaced, however I did not take in the video card because it had an after market heat sink, and if it were broken they may not have written it up due to the fact the warranty was voided. I put the original heatsink back on.

The place I took it to did a full hardware test once it was in the new case with new psu. All was well. I brought it home and plugged in the card. I get a constant beeping from boot up and then a burning smell. I disconnected everything and did a sniff test. The only thing that seems to smell in the gpu on my vid card.

Questions are:
Is there a chance anything else would have fried if the gpu was broken or blew upon being booted up?
Does this seem like it was the video card?

System:
CoolerMaster WaveMaster w/ OCZ Modstream 450 psu
Asus P4P-800 Deluxe
P4C 3ghz 800fsb w/ HT
1024 Hynix Ram DDR400
ATi Radeon 9700 Pro AIW

Atleast I know the case has good air flow. The whole house smells now but not the inside of the case.

I'd make sure that you installed your heatsink on your gpu correctly. Are the beeps in question one long beep followed by 2 short beeps? I'd try the video card in another system if possible just to be sure.

It was a continuity of the same beep. Like a truck backing up, but shorter and quicker in repitition. The card smells like burning. I tested a GF2MX in the machine and it booted fine, but now I need to reinstall windows because of missing DLL's, but that's another issue.

I was thinking I should take my card into the local supplier and see if they can test it and then make a write up. Anything that could have possibly been broken in the shipping incident i'd like to try to get covered.
