lo all, =[ its a sad sad day for me, i ordered the zalman fatality vga cooler for my gigabyte 6800 ultra, i fitted it by the instructions and everything =[. The screen comes on at first but after a while it kinda starts to shake then it goes black :x the actual heatsink and the ram sinks aint hot, but the actual pcb is real hot, any ideas help me save me card thanks in advance =[

sounds like an improper fit. Remove the heatsink and reinstall. Dosent sound as if it is contacting the core properly.

Be sure to put sufficient amount of thermal paste to fill any gap...
