i took the side off my tower when the computer was running, i didnt touch Anything inside the tower, but the computer made a squeal and froze up, i restarted and it wont boot up in windows, i went safe mode no prob, removed the video drivers, now it boots normally. but everything is 4 bit color and 64x480.

DXDIAG wont pic up the dac type or model type or manufacturer or anything of the video card.

any way of knowing if i ruined my video card?

i reinstaled drivers for video card, and it goes back to the same problem, the monitor light just goes off the second i try to load up windows normally with new drivers...

everything down the PCI slots is the same, computer wont pick up the chip informations..... this sounds bad.

But if i can see 4bit 640x480.. that obviosuly means the video card is working right?
