| 851600 | 2010-01-24 23:32:00 | Hey So today I removed all my components from my computer, gave them a quick clean with some compressed air, replaced Thermal Grease and installed a new CPU heatsink. Now everything's back in place all cords are in, but my video card doesn't turn on. At all. The fan doesn't spin either. I get no picture on my monitor. My video card is the Gigabyte GTX 260, and was working fine this morning. Every things plugged in like usual. Two 2 pin connecters that go from the PSU to the video card are in. Could my video card be broken for some reason? I handled it with card, using an anti static strap. Any ideas? Thanks |

| 851601 | 2010-01-24 23:34:00 | Does your system have onboard video and can you confirm the rest of the system working? Also I think you mean two 6-pin PCI-e plugs :D |

| 851602 | 2010-01-24 23:36:00 | my Mobo is the ASUS P5P43TD. It may have one, but I don't have the right cord to connect from the monitor to the Mobo. And yeah. Those things. |

| 851603 | 2010-01-24 23:38:00 | Nope no onboard video on that motherboard. Do you have the 4-pin 12v plugged into the motherboard? |

| 851604 | 2010-01-24 23:40:00 | Yeap :S | Mister (15201) | ||
| 851605 | 2010-01-24 23:46:00 | Does the rest of the system POST? If not it could be a shorting issue preventing the system from starting. I'd probably take the whole thing out of the case and do a bare minimum start up (Motherboard/CPU/GPU/PSU/RAM). |

| 851606 | 2010-01-24 23:50:00 | What do you mean by POST? I'll try do a bare minimum start now. Edit: Nope still doesn't work. |

| 851607 | 2010-01-24 23:53:00 | I mean does the rest of the system try starting even without the GPU running? HDD's other fans etc. | trinsic (6945) | ||
| 851608 | 2010-01-24 23:54:00 | Oh. Yeah. All that works. | Mister (15201) | ||
| 851609 | 2010-01-25 01:11:00 | Could my video card be broken for some reason? I handled it with card, using an anti static strap. It could. What was the anti-static strap connected to? |
