I doubt there is any real solution to my problem and I couldn't find anything while searching this forums. But I was wondering if anyone else's graphics card just stopped working when using the demo of HoMM5.
Basically what happened is that I was able to play the demo just fine until I started the second campaign. Halfway during the first cutscene my screen goes black and I suddenly get a "No input signal" message on my screen. I figured it was some weird crash and I just rebooted, but now my graphics card does not work anymore. I checked if it was anything like the monitor or maybe some loose cables, but it seems to the card itself. Currently I'm using some old graphics card to type this message.
It's a radeon 9800 pro (a bit more then a year old) and I don't do any overclocking or anything like that. So I'm kinda surprised my graphics card is broken because I ran a simple demo like this. Has this happened before to anyone or is it just bad luck?
