First the specs:
MB: nForce 610i-Value
CPU: Intel Core 2 duo
HD: 1.5 tb
Boot SSD: 85gb
Mem: 2gb DDR 2 240
OS: Win 7 64
TV: Silicon Dust HD Homerun 3 tuner TV reciever.
Vid: GeForce 70050 (onboard), gForce GT 220 in PCI slot.
Pushing a Samsung 940 BW monitor and a Sharp 42" HDTV.

I had just gotten the GT 220 working as I wanted. Same image on the monitor and TV. Image fitting the TV screen properly. And was trying to get the cable working. I had the TV & monitor on and was calling TWC to get my cablecard authorized. When I looked up both screens were black. Rebooting gets nothing. Not even the normal boot text.
I am now running it on the built in 7050 in VGA mode.

Are there any tests or anything else I should try before initiating an RMA?

Thanks
Dave

I would suggest running a Bench Test.

I plugged everything back in yesterday and it is working now.
I ordered a new computer from Costco today.
I don't trust this one much anymore. Guess I'll take it to the office for the Camera class to use.
Thanks for the reply.
