Hi everyone, and thank you for checking this out.
I have a serious problem; while playing a game, and at+tabbing to change a tune in iTunes, my PC BSOD'd. Now I have had a couple BSODs before on my 2yr old Medion PC but before they were related to a dodgy game-controller of mine.
Now it seems to be much more severe, when I rebooted after the crashdump I got no image on screen at all, after rebooting a couple of times I decided to try the VGA port on my onboard, which showed the start-up recovery thingy.
After going through start-up recovery my system installed the drivers for my onboard videocard and now it seems my original card has disappeared, won't be seen by windows 7 in anyway whatsoever...
Now I'm not a PC expert, I have checked out the BIOS and noticed the PCI-E had it's power disabled but other than that I cannot see what has changed and whether or not my videocard was bricked in the process or if there's a different problem.
The videocard is a AMD Radeon HD 7770, ASUS HD7770 Series, which has performed excellently so far, no glitches or any signs of overheating to my knowledge...
So my question is.. Can I check whether or not my card is bricked? and if the card is okay, can I re-enable it somehow?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Best, Jasper
