My ATI 9800 Pro died this morning after about 18 months of excellent service. I was playing HL2 just fine last night. Turned off computer, went to bed. This morning, computer wouldn't boot. No signal to monitor. Tried clearing CMOS, no change. Swaped the card out with another and it booted. I tried the Radeon card in another system and it wouldn't boot in that system either. Very strange. My main system is down until I get this card back. Kinda sucks. In all my years of computing, this is the first time I've had a piece of hardware fail.
Anyway, I entered a request for warranty to ATI and was wondering how long they usually take to turn around a request. Has anyone here tried to get warranty service from ATI? It makes me glad that I bought the built by ATI (3y warr) versus the powered by ATI, which usually only have 1y warr.
