Right now, I'm on a FX5200 :( (fanless model from ASUS, V9520-X/TD, though I added a fan) since my 6800 Ultra is in a box, waiting for a UPS dude to come and take it away from me, destination being Cardiff, BFG's European RMA department.
Yes, it died, well, almost, hanged during a game of PES5, rebooted, and since then I had artifacts on the desktop and messed up 3d + corrupted textures. Going back from a 6800U to a FX5200 is kinda hard o_O (however, if my old backup card didn't die a few months ago, I'd be on a TNT2 m64 right now :p)

Life sucks, I hope it won't take too long for BFG to replace it....

Maan, I'm a carefull user then :p
The only thing that died on me was a 128MB SDRAM module for my P2 back in 2001 and a recent even of a 6600 dying, but it was second hand and already faulty so that doesn't count :p

Other than that, even my NES (and all its controller's buttons too) STILL work. However, if we move further back, then my Commodore64 and Atari2600 are dead. :D

oh yeah, some of MY computer stuff died once, like, my PSU, my FX5600 Ultra, my old MSI K7T Turbo-R, a DVD drive, a TNT2 m64, a CD burner, and, hmm, a 60 GB HD. That's about it. Does that make me badass enough now ? :p
Wow, you beat me in that department oO
The only stuff that died on me were: A Kt400 Amd motherboard, 3 Acer Cd-roms, a Voodoo Banshee, a GeforceFx 5200, 2 Monitors and one Dvd-RW. And that happened in one year.
Now i have a Dvd-rom asking for a place to rest eternally but i give it electroshocks from time to time :innocent:

And i almost forgot to add another category: computer stuff that you have killed.
In my last reformat at 3 a.m. i applied the rcp patch which changes the Bios of a Dvd-Rom/RW so it's region free to my Cd-rw. Needless to say it went crazy and the light was turned on forever plus it didn't recognize anything, no even his own existence :lol:
It was 3 a.m. and my 3 drives were Lite-on.

Companies are good about RMAs. Their customer satisfaction depends on that above really anything else. Not to mention that BFG really is known for its warranty service. :)

Don't worry, you'll have a new card in no time.

Well, the card's sold overclocked by BFG, and it was running at those speeds, dunno what happened, fivefeet8 has the same card as me and he runs it at higher speeds than mine, but he has yet to complain about a problem, so, I guess I just got unlucky.
