Hi guys, i need help regarding my video card.
So I was cleaning the dust of my computer last night, too much gunk for my taste. Cleaning using compressed air can.
Anyway, after finishing, i cleaned up and restarted the computer, i worked like a champ. I moved some anime to dvd and deleted some unused files in hard drive (mostly anime or old games). I did spyware check using ad-aware, virus check using nod32, then i defragmented my drive all while i was reading a book.
So the defrag was done and i fell asleep till the morning came, lo and behold in the morning, my screen looks as it was tearing, colors messed up and no screen saver on. I put on regular screen saver after 5 min of inactivity.
Anyway, i retried rebooted and rebooted, the computer showed the bios logon, windows logo, but then as it tried to get into the desktop, the monitor just went blank. I restarted it again and went to save mode with VGA enabled, it went to desktop for like couple seconds then the same tearing happened and the whole screen went blank. I did check the DVI connection at the back.
I am really at loss. Dont think i touched anything during cleaning and I made sure that i grounded myself before touching the computer. Never overclock the card as it came OC from BFG. Right now writing this in the same computer in safe mode with networking only.
My video card is BFG 6800 GT OC AGP8x btw. Going to give them a call but not till the last resort.
Please help me.
