Last night I powered on my PC and after a while started Battlefield 3. It said loading level and then showed a black screen. I thought my PC had frozen. Ctrl+Alt+Del didn't work. So I restarted my PC. After loading Windows I saw a blue screen with faint lines going across the screen horizontally. Figured out my GC had crashed. After several more efforts including starting in Safe Mode, uninstalling drivers and reinstalling the latest drivers, the problem didn't go away. So I changed the PCI slot. Now there was no blue screen but the black screen. The edges were lit. So I figured that the monitor LEDs were working but no picture. How can I make sure that it is my graphics card that is dead and not some software issue. Also please note that I am getting display through my graphics card (i.e. monitor connected to GC) when I disable it through device manager. But with it enabled and all drivers installed it shows no display. Please help. The rest of my PC specs read Intel i5 2500k (no overclock as of now) with Noctua NH D14 (dunno if this is even relevant), ASUS P8Z68 V PRO, G Skill Ripjaws X 8 GB RAM, 2 TB hard disk.
