Is it possible for a motherboard to kill a video card?
If so, how? Through a bad PSU?
The reason I ask is because I've had to RMA 4 8800 GTX's to EVGA in the past couple of months because they always start artifacting and then blue screening after a couple of months. After this, even when put in a known working computer they still artifact so they are in fact fried.
The two things that have come to mind are a PSU issue which I think is more than likely or a motherboard issue. Any possibility of the motherboard side?
Thanks,
