2. Got (very lightly) shocked when removing cables, one cable touched the metalic case of the STB.
3. No signal. Not sure if this was prior to removing cables or after shock
4. Now the card doesn't work with 3d applications. Though without drivers installed, I can still get into vista. With drivers installed, I can't.
5. Now what? D:

For the record, talking about a 8800 GTS here.
And at point 3, "no signal" I'm saying I connected the PC to the TV directly, instead of through the STB and then there was no signal. (Was just testing things)
