Haha, sorry, it was for Rrrrricky!
C77 is GeForce 8200 IGP as part of MCP77 - Nvidia.
So have you tried the other slot, even better on another machine?
not yet... I do have 2 of the cards, though, and both used to work,

Linux won't magically fix that card if it is defective, you know.
What? And here I thought it was all magic! :)
