I bought a Gainward gf2 TI500/XP golden sample from Newegg back in January. It was working like a champ up until mid-May, and then out of nowhere, it crapped out on me. I couldn't figure out why, but I wasn't getting any kind of display. A borrowed 8MB card worked just fine in the mean time. Fortunately, Gainward sent me a new card within a couple of weeks. So, now I've had this new card only a week, and it crapped out on me tonight!!!! This time, I could tell that the fan wasn't spinning, and I still wasn't getting any kind of display.

I would like to know...has anyone else had these kinds of problems??? I'm going through video cards every other week and it's pissing me off. Could there be something wrong somewhere else (i.e. mobo, etc.)??? Please help!! Thanks in advance.
