It doesn't feel bricked if that makes sense. There was no indication of failure prior to turning off the machine. Fans work, mobo gives video error code 1 long 2 short.

Trying to nvflash my bricked card and the dos wont even detect it. I only over volted this thing to 1.1 and the temps never got over 72. also this was very short term usage. I would like to note that the drivers went into safe mode twice, but as to actual crashing of the computer: it never...
