ok, got home today, and my displays won’t turn on. my thoughts: great, not again.
this all started 11 months ago when I bought a new computer, that was my first mistake. 6 months later, after leaving the computer running a few hours, I go to use it, and the screens won’t display anything. open up the case, find out the fan on the GPU ain’t spinning. send it away to get fixed, two months later, I get a replacement card.
jump forward three months, and it has done it again (I believe, same symptoms of an overheating GPU, but I haven’t had time to open the case to check it out). I opened the case about a week ago, and there was absolutely no dust in/on/under the fan.
so I would like to know, have any of you had any experience with ECS? is it a junky brand or do I have real bad luck (someone once told me on TR that I must be getting my parts from a gun range… I’m starting to believe them.)
the card is an ECS 1GB 9800GT.
thanks
.Martin.
