Video card dead? or maybe new mobo dead?

ok, so i just had a very odd thing happen to me. i booted up my desktop, for some reason it didnt load any of the programs its suposed to like, msn, at the time, i didnt think anything of it. but when i started to play a game, for some reason my FPS were down in the 20s and lower and they wouldnt go up no matter what settings i changed. then when i just gave up, it was running rather sluggish on the desktop, so i turned it off to let it sit a second, then when i went to boot it back up. nothing, power turns on, but nothing displays on the screen no matter what DVI port i use, and normally when booting up, ill get a beep from the in case speaker, i dont hear that now. can this be my GPU died or my new mobo just died?system is a BFG 7900 GTOC AMD Athlon 64 3800+ OC@2.6 and a two day old Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe.please post any ideas you have, this is very upsetting, my desktop is my life.Video card dead? or maybe new mobo dead?
Put your CPU back to stock speeds.Video card dead? or maybe new mobo dead?
same thing happen to me a couple of days ago. I was playing Company of Heroes and all of a sudden I started to get strange lines on my screen and then everything went black. my computer was getting power and all the lights were on, however there was no signal to the display. i went to best buy and bought another video card and it has worked fine since. my old video card had dust in the fan and probably overheat, it was completely fried. hope this helps.
well, i took the new asus mobo out, put the original back in, and it displays the bios, goes through to start windows and everything, but, since the hard drive was running on different mobo, it cant boot windows, so now i am trying to set up XP on this now and see how it works, looks like the Asus craped out on me after two days. gonna be calling newegg in the morning, really pissed about this crap.
Did you try resetting the CMOS with the jumper on your old board?
I would check if the CPU or GPU is overheating.
[QUOTE=''RayvinAzn'']Did you try resetting the CMOS with the jumper on your old board?[/QUOTE]i looked through the book that came with the board and couldnt find anything on that, so i just decided to try the old mobo to make sure it wasnt a GPU problem. if you could give me a run through on how to do that, i can do it on the Asus mobo and see if it works
never mind, i figured it out. ill try the asus again and see if that worked
ok, the Asus board is just bad. will be getting a new one shiped to me asap.thanks to those who did reply.And on a side note, i HATE AS5 thermal paste, thats not paste, thats glue and everytime ive swaped mobos tonight pins on my CPU have been bent because it has been glued to the heatsink when i unscrew it. i will not be using this stuff again, it does help temps, but not worth broken pins on a CPU.
