Some time ago I have paused a (GPU heavy) computer game for a couple of hours. When I returned to my computer, a BSOD was showing mentioning dxgmms1.sys. I had no other choice than to reboot my computer. But unfortunately, I received no video output from my video card. I am sure the monitor works correctly (connected it to a laptop). Specs are below.
My first thought is my video card died. Under normal circumstances, (I think) my system indicates with a short beep the POST test has been completed succesfully. Now: no beep, no video output, no activity from LEDs/HDD, but fans are up and running. This all led me to believe me pausing Medal of Honor for a large amount of time somehow did damage to the GPU.
I ordered a new GPU (supported by motherboard), installed it, but I still have no video output whatsoever. Fans are whirring and LEDs on my video card are on, so I think the GPU isn't the problem.
Could it be my motherboard? Is there a way to test if my motherboard is the problem?
