Could be that the excessive dust buildup caused the graphics card to overheat and die. Do you have another PCI-E card that you could try, or try her card in another computer?

When you stated that it needed a reboot, what was the problem?

Using a vacuum is a bad idea. There are many small connections that can break, not to mention static electricity.

sorry for my bad English mohsentux i use text language to often and its something i must get out of.

ctorin that's what i had a go at my girlfriend for.Ive always been told that even a small static charge can take out a motherboard.is this most likely the problem.

This sounds like a problem with the OS. you might just try a repair on the one that is already installed, you don't have to start fresh for the first try.
