Broken Graphics Card or Motherboard wont boot with card plugged in either PCI slot

[Callum_15]

I Have a GTX 780HOF graphics card and one day it just crapped out while playing FO4. I initially thought it was the motherboard but the system works fine while running on integrated graphics. My PC wont boot with the graphics card plugged in to either PCI slot. I am worried if I plug a friends graphics card into my system it might be bricked and I am worried if I plug my graphics card in to their board it might short out the PCI slots. What should I do?

Thanks Callum

Well you cant brick anything, take other gpu and test it on your motherboard, also you can take your gpu to friends house and plug it into his pc. There is notting to worry about.
