Problem with r9-280x

[azza900]

Hello, my sapphire r9 280x dual-x has played up on me. Yesterday i went to boot my pc and i heard a "pop" sound. After inspecting i noticed that a capacitor on my card has been popped upwards with what i think is the coil sticking out. My pc continued to boot with this problem but i am not too sure if i should trust the card. Any ideas/help would be appreciated. I can supply pictures if necessary.

Thanks

If still under warranty, RMA it and don't mess with it anymore. Blown components are simply not safe to use, period.
