OK, just to explain what happened:
Customer+iMac 27mid2010 (A) wants a videocard upgrade (had a 2GB card laying around that i sold him for a lower price so i could keep the old (1GB) one.
Job done.
Customer +iMac 27late2009 (B) walks in and wants to buy the leftover 1GB card because her current one has pink stripes onscreen.
I install card A into machine B, and no dice: whatthefuck has the card just died on me?
I take card A out and test it in a knowngood iMac late2009 ( C ) , no dice.
I take card C and install it back in machine C: no dice.
Machine B now won't accept any videocard.
Can someone help me gain a clear head on this, because i thought that all 27" videocards are intercompatible.
Is a defective videocard destroying all my iMacs? (Card B has been happily rendering Vectorworks stuff for the past 7 years, it seems funky for it to die in my careful hands today)
Maybe it's friday, but this shit is killing me.
Much obliged
