Hi, im having a problem with my videocard ( i guess)
there was a power outage in my area, and my tv couldnt find a hdmi signal after that,
but i powered out the computer for a while and held down the power button for some time,
then i got a hdmi signal, but after about 10- 15 min i got a screen from tv telling me there was no hdmi signal,
so i rebooted, and got a signal again, then after 10 new minutes, same problem,
i thought that maybe my videocard fan was fried,
and maybe that the video card got to hot and then stoped working / shut down,
but both fans are working , now when i was checking if the fans was indeed spinning,
after about 6 days of oftime, i turned it back on, and now its been running for about 30 min,
without any problems, what can be the problem?
im really in a loss of an explenation and would like to know what might be the problem,
so i can prevent it happen again in a critical moment.
Edit: my usb soundcard also made a click noise (from speakers) and no more sound was audible after hdmi signal lost.
