Dead 7950GT AGP

[Miker]

It finally died. I was playing CSS and I just started getting random video drop outs when I was in a room with like 15 people camping in zombie-mod. The video dropouts kept coming faster and faster, till it totally dropped and my monitor went to "No Signal". At the same time heard a noise behind my PC. So I look behind my PC to my monitor cable, laying on the ground not plugged into my monitor. Like WDF, I though 7950GT AGPs had some odd problems, but having the thing be so powerful that my cable falls of my monitor from the force of the video traveling threw it, that is a new one. So I plug it back in, making sure to use the thumb screws this time, and sure enough it starts working.

So im guessing this is the monitor, not the video card.

Nothing broke, just a lose cable.

Thankfully it was just your cord...lol. I saw the title and was worried. My card too does not screw in too well on the back of the card and I too had it fal off once as well. But I know right away because I heard it hit the floor when I moved my case a little.
