After having this PC for a while and playing some demanding games without any issues I started gettin some graphical crashes while in game and even just using word. The screen crashed with random lines and shit and I had to plug the pc off and clear the cmos cause it wouldnt boot. Sent the gpu to a technician and he gave it back cus he could solve it. Now it doesnt even boot, i get the post beep but the keyboard doesnt light the cap led. it works if i disconnect gpu and use integ.
Any help from the wise guys at /wsr/ ?

video card is fried
and is possibly damaging your mobo when you try to use it
mobo is probably in need of replacement soon, but graphics card is already bricked
watch out for direct x requirements if you are planning on replacing it with a used or refurbished graphics card; it's hard to remove a more recent version of directx.
Fuck I was in love with my 7970. So could I be damaging other parts by using the mobo now?

nah but if plugging the card in is causing other electrical anomalies like the keyboard light thing, it's safe to say that is unwanted behavior. so i give the 'don't short your shit' warning.
i doubt the onboard graphics are enough for your purposes. i would still use that motherboard if i were on a budget, and just try a different graphics card first
What would be a reasonably priced replacement for a 7970?
