Short story:
Harddrive was giving error (during boot, in windows, Everest S.M.A.R.T diagnostic, speedfan, seatools etc) so I took it out. Everything worked fine, but suddenly one of the cards VRMs temps goes through the roof (105~ C) so I disassemble the cooler (twin turbo) and reattach it. Windows doesn't boot.
Safe mode works, I uninstall ATi drivers. Windows still won't boot, but safe mode works. After many restarts the monitor stop showing anything so I remove the card and add a PCI card. Everything works as long as the HD4870 ain't in the PC.
Saw this mark which wasn't there when I first added the cooler, so did I damage the GPU when I disassembled the cooler to reattach the VRM cooler?
I really hope I didn't kill my card because I really can't afford pretty much anything until early June, and I was hoping on being able to afford a TV rather than a graphic card because the HD4870 meets all my requirements...
