Either my video card died a few weeks back, or my PSU is at fault. A bus powered card runs fine, a dual 6pin card runs fine. But my dual 8 pin card wont run - fans tick over but thats it. I dont have a spare PSU to test with.
So pretty sure its the card but need to confirm before approaching SWMBO for a new card ;)
So if I pickup a cheap multimeter, whats the best way for me to check the pins on the PCI-e connectors are live etc ? Unplug from mobo, short the power to kick the PSU into life and touch the pins with the probes ?
Im not the best with electrical things as such :D
Computer geek yes, electrical geek, no.
