I was browsing the web a bit earlier, when my screen freaked out, purples, pinks and black colors everywhere. It froze up, so I turned off my computer, and restarted. Well, it didn't boot back up, so I tried again, and nothing. I went and got my old ATI card and put it in, and the computer booted. I'm guessing its fried right? I have it watercooled, so I thought it leaked or something, but when I took my waterblock off, there were no leaks, no signs of water damage, nothing fried. I'll give it till the morning and ill try it again. What do you think? :(
 
What temp was it running at idle/load?

Check all power connections.
Try another PSU, it might have developed a fault and is no longer able to provide enough power.
 
i've only seen that on cards that overheat fairly severly
maybe your waterblock wasn't on the GPU properly? slipped or something?
 
It idled at 35ish, loaded around 45C. I also checked all the power connectors, I unplugged everything and replugged it, but still nothing. I have a bfgtech 650w, I know it isn't the best, but it ran solid for a year, and just couldn't handle it anymore or something? I swapped it out with a ATI all in wonder card, so the power draw is no where near the same. I also checked the waterblock for leaks, to make sure the bracket was still holding, and it was still as tight as the first day I put it on, and I have ramsinks on all the ram, as5 and a bit of superglue to hold it on.
