Well, i turned on my computer and there was no picture showing on my moniter, so i quickly assumed that it was my video card, and just for poops i switched my video card into the other pci x16 slot, and it works. now im wondering how exactly this happened? i dont wanna burn out another pci slot because i already ruined the chance of me sli ing now.

p.s. is it bad if i drop a screw on the mobo while its running and it turns off???:D i mean it still works....

p.s.s my computer is very hot, and gpu and cpu temps are normal, just the case temp is hotter than normal??

specs, 7900gtx, one of the very early ones that were known to burn out, just guess im lucky... or not.

2 gigs of ram

4800+ x2 dual core

running windows xp. ive had this computer for about a year now, havent done anything different that i have since i got it. ive been overclocking it since the day i got it though, but i wanna know the other possibilities before i jump to conclusions.
