I was heading to my comp to look up some lifetime warranty-breaking GPU coolers, only to find my monitor staying blank. I look inside my side panel, and my graphic card's LED light and fans aren't on. Uh-oh.
They turn on for a seond or two when I boot up, and then turn off. I've packaged it up and sent it off on its RMA, and I'm 99% I haven't broken the warranty. I haven't tweaked the card through overclocking, or tweaked it physically at all. The card had run smoothly for the two months that I had it, and I did not touch it since installation, and has been seated snug in the closed case.
The 1% is what pains me, because as I wait until the end of next week, I constantly wonder if I may have done something wrong, if I'm going to get back my dead card saying it was my fault. Anyone else know what might've happened? For what it's worth, I also tested it out on multiple machines, with same results before I sent it in.
And if I do get my dead card back, what are my options? It's a BFG 6800GT factory OC. Is there any kind of repair I could go through? Because I can't spare another $535 (About 412 American) for a long, long time, and I'm stuck with my crappy ti4200.
Thanks.
