Exclamation Geforce 7800gt Pci-e 256mb blank screen.
Hi, yesterday night I had put in a couple cathodes into my case and afterwords i turned my computer on. I was busy working with something else when I looked at my screen and it was a light blue. So i restarted my comp and it came up fine. I could click icons and that sort of thing. Then I turned my case and sat it up right, and my screen went to a tiled version of my desktop and I couldn't do anything. So I restarted again and now i just get a blank screen and my mobo, Lanparty UT nF4 SLI-DR, makes a Long beep followed by several short beeps. I THINK its my video card but I am unsure. My manual from http://us.dfi.com.tw/Upload/Manual/lputnf4%20847505103.pdf
says in the last chapter that those beeps mean either A) Can't find video or B) Something is wrong with the DRAM. Which i have no idea what that is.

So I am unsure as to what to do. I'm tempted to take advantage of EVGA's warranty for the card and get a new one but I'm not sure if that's the whole problem. I'm in desperate need for help cause I'm not good at all with trouble shooting computers.

Hi Pliskin and welcome to Dev Shed.

Firstly, open up your case and make sure that the graphics card is seated correctly - sounds like it could have came out it's socket.

That was actually the first thing I had done, I even had taken the card out and put it in a different slot and it still has the same problem.

Ok I got impatient and went out and borrowed my friends computer. I took out his 6800, with permission, and put it in my computer. It started up fine and I could see the bios and such. So thanks for attempting to solve my problem. I'll use this forum the next time I manage to mess my computer up.

(Stating the obvious here) Looks like your graphics card is faulty. Is it still under warranty ?
