Another card bites the dust :(
Found the source of a very loud bang that we heard the other night – popping capacitors. We needed to borrow a SATA cable from the PC and when I booted up the PC it was throwing BIOS errors. Upon checking the hardware I found these on the video card *sobs*. Second video card that my PC has fried. Thankfully, I’ve managed to get the PC up and running with no video card installed as it’s my file server.

I haven’t lost a single video card in 10+ years. I have a computer with a NVidia GeForce 4200 still going strong
I must have the electronic version of green fingers or something :p

lol you must have to not lose any in over 10 years! I’ve lost a few, serviced a few customers PC’s that have as well. Nasty business. The card it fried was an NVidia GeForce 6600GT, very disappointed given I brought it only a few months ago.
