    Software can not fry a Graphics card but a graphics card can die usually as a result of poor cooling. Did you check if its fan was still operational? Anyway it has nothing to do with the game.

    You say you had a technician look at it, I'm surprised that he didn't mention this.

Yeah alright cheers, I was just making sure I wouldn't be losing another card over that. I'm no technician myself, no idea why the card died when it died, but I wanted to be sure it has nothing to do with the game.
