So tell us, how did you exactly did you fry it?

 

[balilu]

I decided to overclock more my VGA and increased it from 400/1100MHz to 433/1160MHz (according to 'Detect optimal Frequnciecs from NVIDIA's driver). I "stress" tested it and even went playing UT2004 for about 20 mins and all went great.

After that I decided to overclock my CPU after I overclocked few MHz more my CPU and when went to Windows and played UT2004 it crashed. I tried to increase the voltage and it still crashed. I went back to BIOS and put it back @ normal speeds and it booted.

I stopped it to plug my CD-RW which was unplugged. And when I turned on it just beeped once and nothing happened. I've tried resetting BIOS nothing worked checked everyting still didn't work. I'v tried another VGA (FX5500) and worked. I've tried my VGA on another PC and didn't work and I concluded that it's death
