Hey 
This morning when turning on my PC, I hard a scary high-pitched fan sound (or something of that kind, it was like the HL1 gauss rifle charging, but highpitched)
I opened the case thinking it had something to do with my CPU fan, so I cleaned it. I booted windows fine, check my mail and stuff.
Then I open Asus probe to check the temp, it was average, and when I tried to
check it again in Everest, the PC shut down ...
I cleaned it even better, and after turning off, instead of the BIOS screen,
I saw that the image was corrupt... very corrupt, nothing was recognizable,
it was just colors and colors and colors, acting like the TV noise (we call it snow here). To me it looked like the RAM was malfunctionning.
Problem is my card is brand new, I bought it last month and I never had any problem with it, it happened all of a sudden, its fan is clean, it doesn't smell melted plastic either... is there hope for me? I bought it online, so using the warranty is kinda hard
PS: It was not overclocked.
Now I'm back (again) to my GF2MX
