Did my 6800gt just die overnight?

[Narius]

Ok well i went to turn on my comp and i had no picture when it booted, so i checked and everything was connected properly but my Xfx 6800gt fan wasnt spinning.. so now i dont know what to do becuase it was working fine the day before, and for the last 7 months, but now for some reason its not working.. is it possible for it to just die overnight?

my psu is a thermaltake 430w psu with 18amps on the 12v rail....... its been running perfectly stable along with a 3700+ sandy @ stock speeds, 2 hd's, and a couple fans since september.......

right now i have no other computer with a pci-e slot and i dont have a spare gfx card soo...

Should i RMA it to XFX?

Does the mobo give you one or two long beeps at startup? Depending on what BIOS you're using, it should indicate a video error.

If so, either the video card or the pci-e slot is dead. Try reseating the card one more time just to make sure and check the molex power connection.
