I've been using this card with no problems for about 3 months now. Playing graphic intensive games without a single hiccup. Last night I'm playing Freelancer and I'm rotating a 3D view around my ship when all of a sudden my computer freezes (which it hasn't done ever with my current configuration - over one year). So I try the usual Alt-Tab and Alt-F4 with no luck....about 10 seconds later my computer shuts down and begins a reboot by itself. I notice blue lines on my windows startup screen and through the post. Just as it's about to get to the desktop, the screen goes black and I can't do anything with the computer. It's obviously the video card as I swapped it out with another card the next day and it works perfectly.
Questions: Can a game fry my videocard like that? And if so, should I not play that game anymore? Or was it a random incident and I should go about my gaming?
When a card fries like that, what are my options on replacing it? Call PNY? Call retailer? Buy a new card?
Thanks!
