I think the Chaser demo killed my Bro's GeForce 3Ti 200

I think the Chaser demo killed my Bro's GeForce 3Ti 200, he installed it and was playing the game on his Compaq system with a Pentium 4 2.0Ghz, 512MB ram and a Nvidia GeForce 3Ti 200 64MB by MSI for Compaq.

He had the 43.45 Nvidia drivers and what happened was that while playing Chaser demo the game froze and then the monitor went black and the monitor light that shows if its getting a VGA signal is dead.

Did the Chaser demo kill my bro's GeForce?

I was just told about this and I am going to trouble shoot his system tomorrow, can anyone tell me what they think about this please.

Do you get any picture at all when you turn the PC on, or is it dead even in BIOS?

It could be :

1. The card has died - try another monitor
2. The monitor died - try another card
2. The game was using a refesh rate/resulution to high for the monitor, boot to safe mode and lower it.
