Yeah given it a good clean... tried it on a different mainboard too.... dead.
Well hacked off... was a good card, 1Gb version.. at the time it was pretty good... still I guess its 3+ years old now.
Heard the AMD R9 GFX cards are better than the nVidia items these days?
Anyone got an AMD GFX card?

Re: Run out of games!
ah bad luck 
I switched to ATI/AMD after 3 nVidia cards failed in a row, two of them actually went bang, exploding capacitors!
I've got an HD 6850 now, water cooled
The card before was an HD 5750(still working in the family PC now) and my brother has an HD 7770(I think). They're all really good, zero problems
I dunno about their latest offerings though but presumably they're as good, I tend to just buy whatever is around the £100 mark and they generally handle all the latest games on high settings for several years.
