[RESOLVED] DEAD VIDEO CARD

[VOLCAN]

Well let me start by telling the story,
over the past year i ran Windows 98,2000 and Millenium on my computer and about 3weeks ago i installed winxp,it frozed from time to time no biggie but then yesterday i was listening to some music through winamp, it went to windows screen saver and as i moved the mouse to go back, windows frozed and the nothing would respond the song kept on repeting like a scratched cd on a regular player. well there was no option but to do a hard shut down, wich i did and when i tried to restart no video at all, i troubleshootted for a little bit and everything was fine except for the video card. it was dead. ohhh well, now i wonder if it was "winamp" or windows xp that caused that.mmmm????

Neither. An operating system can NOT kill a video card. No software can...unless it's some type of overclocking utility. Sounds like it was just an unlucky coincidence that it decided to die not long after XP was installed.
