My 290x, which has been chugging along happily for almost 3 years now, has just bitten the dust. It went out with a bang, as it seems a bit of unusually conductive dust bridged two contacts on the back of the card near the hdmi port, causing a small set of sparks. The pc immediately shut down, and when it powered back on, the display no longer received an input. The status leds on the card do not illuminate, and none of the outputs work, although the fans do run. I had to swap in my 750ti, which is not vr ready, which brings me to my dilemma. I just spent all my money on a rift, so I cannot afford to replace the card. Does anyone have any suggestions for a course of action?
