Hey guys..I have a problem and there are a lot of knowledgeable people on these forums, if I could get some opinions that would be great.
I have a BFG Geforce 280 GTX
About a week ago my power went out in the building, I boot up my pc the next day and go to play CoD 6( or any game) and it goes to a screen with mostly blue,red,green, and black "spray patterms" on it, and they freezes when I move my mouse ( which appears on the screen as a small colored square)
I can still hear the audio before it crashes, and I do have a surge protector btw.
Anyways..I can watch anything online like movies etc, and on VLC when I turned off graphics acceleration.
Im like 90% sure that the video card just got fried..but what confuses me is I am still able to use my 1900 x 1280 video settings and use the Nvidia control panel. outside of games..like my desktop and movies etc..
I'd like some reassurance before I go spend 400 bucks on a new card!
