So my brother suddenly couldn't play any of his games.
I checked his pc.
While Windows XP is loading during the black screen, it goes full of tiny artifacts but then windows loads with no artifacting and appears all normal.
In device manager, the 8800GT shows up with a yellow exclamation mark and it says "device cannot start". Even after uninstall/reinstall.
In dxdiag, it shows the card running on a 'generic driver'.
I reinstalled the driver but it still runs on the generic one.
I think it died. (Or could it be a faulty cable?)
Another thing... this card has a 10 year warranty which means it expires in 2017.
But... the manufacturer is BFG
