diagnosis ?

Suspect faulty video card. Unable to test, as no compatible video cards available.

thanks.  :)

daughter was playing videogames yesterday, all of a sudden, it failed to run a game that had been running fine earlier. (KOTOR II)

Was still running windows though, checked drivers and such, then, it failed and did not restart.

needed a quick response, to decide whether to try a local computer repair place, or order a newer video card online, next-day delivery should be an option from the supplier we've used before.

And talking of replacements

Existing card was a Nvidia Geforce gtx 460.

suitable replacement product is a Nvidia GT 610 ? that seems to be the only ones available that would fit this machine. PCIe 2.0

You can try another monitor or monitor cable, but I agree. It's most likely the video card itself.
