[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1286170, member: 56379"] This shouldn't have caused a problem...unless some important files were accidentally deleted along with the video files. Sounds like a great idea. Hopefully they won't charge too much to do the troubleshooting. I mention this because...a good used 7300 card sells for about $75-$100 US from e-Bay (not sure about Canada). What I'm basically saying is...if you're REALLY or pretty sure it's the video card...the cost to have it tested at the repair shop...may have paid for most of the purchase of a 2nd 7300 card. Usually video problems are video hardware related...thus the photo does help a lot. But beyond that...doing the hardware testing is what really confirms the source of the issue. If you do take it to the repair shop...please let us know how things turned out.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
