definate suckage!!!!
i was working on one of my pc's the other day. turned it on it's side while it was still connected to power, monitor, etc. the monitor cable caught on the desk, yanking the video card i had just put in out of the slot. (had not screwed it in yet b/c i wasn't sure i was going to use it.)
when it yanked it out, it broke the AGP slot AND the card..now the machine won't boot. tested the board with another card, won't boot. tested the card in another board...dosn't work. oh well...at least i have a couple other machines. |
