Bought an XFX 4770 locally yesterday. (great price too)
After installation and rivatuner tweaking it was running excellent.
Few hours later after a powerdown-restart, a sizzling/burning noise was heard when the power button was pushed. Fans were on for a second and then everything was off.
The terrible electronics burning smell was in the air, and I feared the worst.
I tried the power button again after switching the power supply off and on. The video card fan and m-board leds come on for a second
then shut off. Nothing happens.
After inspecting the components I did not see any noticeable burnt areas.
I swapped my old video card back in and everything was back to normal.
EVGA microATX 630i
Antec trupower 500W
I am going to swap the xfx video card at the store.
Before I try to run the second one is there any way my power supply is causing this.
Or did I get a defective card?
I haven't had any power issues at all with it.
Thanks all.
