Try a different (working) monitor on your PC. If that doesn't show any images, then probably the GFX card's gone.

Though the BIOS should detect that and start beeping madly at you.

i just tried it on my hdtv  it doesnt get a picture either did i burn out the graphics card or something when my new ram was being fit they said their "were some problems during instaltion of it but it should work ok" and the bios does not beep at me

hmmm I have a feeling your graphics card over heated and stoped working, try to see if a similar one would work. Next check the wires in the PC case, maybe one of them burnt or got disconected.

checked the wires non are disconnected or burnt out i dont understand what you mean by try a diffrent one

Well, if your pc has onboard card, you can try there.

If you have an old Graphics Card lying around the house, then open up your case, and swap it with the x800. If the monitor is working, then your graphics card as overheated. Chances are that your GPU has overheated, considering it got to 60 degrees .

put your graphics card in another PCI slot or whatver slot your gfx card is compatable with....they should be like white or brown looks like this

dont have another graphics card anywere and its only compatable with  pci express i think and i only have the one pci express slot and thats were the gfx card allready is EDIT: calling enginer tommorow my pc is still in waranty i hope he can fix it

if its not your gfx card, then your CPU may of died.
