Guys I just did a terrible screw-up with my winPC... I have this nice, self-built computer with a dual core athlon 4600+, 1 gig ram and an asus geforce 6800 128 mb. Problem was, the graphics card was making a hell of noise when operating. I've spotted that nice Arctic Cooling Accelero X1 fan since long ago. Today I decided to buy it and put it in. I've read on reviews, it was near completely silent. I went out to the shop and got it, went back home and opened up my pc. While I was unscrewing the old cooler off my graphics card, in a clumsy moment the screwdriver sliped off from my hands and hit the PCB of the card, right on one of the AGP connectors! Holy Crap! I tried to keep calm and completed the installation. I put the Graphics card in, pressed the power button, and .... Nothing!!! The computer boots up but the connector I damaged must have been responsible for recieving stuff to show on the screen. There go my 200 (or even 210) euros! You can't possibly imagine how much of a fool I feel right now :boohoo: .
Any posts of compassion and sympathy will be dearly appreciated! :boohoo:
ps. sorry for my bad English
