Well, I was playing Titan Quest, and unexpectedly, it crashed. An error popped up saying a certain file, something like NvDx64 has failed and recovered. This has happened with all sorts of driver versions before, so I generally ignored it and booted up Titan Quest again. However, this time, almost instantly the game crashed again to a black screen with red lines all across it, for a very brief second. The entire computer froze, the sound looped and the monitor lost the signal to the graphics card. I rebooted, and tried to play Team Fortress 2 as a test to see if my graphics card was faulty. The same thing happened. I suspect it could be the drivers, which I have uninstalled, but now it cannot detect my graphics card, so I have no way of putting the drivers back in. So I'm just making sure, is the card fucked, or is there still a slight hope?
Oh, and the card is an Albatron 9800 GX2.
Try cleaning the card (physicly)
try reinstalling windows
Go to the nVidia site and download the latest drivers for your card.... if that doesent work, then meh... trinstall Windows
So, does anyone have some advice [i]other[/i] than reinstalling windows?

If it doesn't detect a card (and it really should and install some generic drivers at the very least) it's very likely that the card is shot. Try it in a different computer, if possible. Also try putting a different card into the computer to see if it'll work properly.

Doesn't detect the graphics card, so I can't post the temps. It's also saying an error Code 43 in the device manager. I managed to fix the drivers, but as soon as I launched a game it just crashed again and now I'm back at square one. Weirdly though, everything else runs fine besides any games. This leads me to believe it's the software, not the card, but I have no idea.

Boot into safe mode with networking, then download the newest drivers from Nvidia's site. Be sure to check to make sure that the old drivers have been un-installed, then delete the C:\NVIDIA folder that they put there for drivers. Then install the new drivers.
Good luck.
PS: you may also want to try updating DirectX (Google DirectX to get the updater)
Well, I went back to a restore point and it worked for some time. However, soon after, it crashed again and did the same thing. I tried to go back to the restore point again to see if I could prevent it, but Vista failed on me and ended up getting corrupted. 400 dollars later to get a guy to back up all the shit on the computer, the problem still remains. Fuck, this is annoying.
You lend the guy 400 dollars to back up shit instead of just buying a new graphics card entirely?

Oh, Vista corrupted.

Yeah, it fucking sucked. Complete waste of fucking time too, now that the graphics card isn't fixed.
Gonna buy a new graphics card by the end of the week. I'll get back to you if it works or not.
