a kinda similar thing also happened to me not too long ago
my PC was quiet ancient...it has no VGA(but the slot is) but has an on-board AGP instead and its the lamest AGP on earth :cry: ...well not too long ago my friends decided to buy a new VGA for his PC and he then he gave me his old VGA(GeForce FX 5200)...then when i installed it, its not working i mean like no picture at all and my PC didn't detect it...after numerous attempt i ended up destroying my computer then after deeper investigation(bring my PC to my PC doctor) i ended up knowing that the damn thing(VGA) was already broken...then the next day after that, i beat the crap out of my friend's ass :x
LOL, took you a while to find out
i'm guessing that you didn't try to run the PC with the video card to check if the video card was still working
no wonder your friend bought a new video card
