Original Post Short version: I went through 4 EVGA 8800 GTX RMAs. Video Cards kept dying. Most thought it was either a PSU or Mobo issue.
Current:
I got a new 750w XFX power supply as well as a working motherboard from a friend. I swaped everything over and proceeded to instally my 5th EVGA RMA 8800 GTX. Also did a clean install of Windows 7.
Everything seemed to be going alright for a few days. Then, I started getting the white screen in BF:BC2. This happened a few times and then the video card just died. It stoped showing any video. I swaped in another temp card to make sure the motherboard was fine and it booted up just fine. I put the 8800 back in and no dice. It was dead.
I talked to EVGA and got them to send me a different card (GT260 I think). Anyhow, anyone know WTF might be going on? I don't want to kill this card too. I don't even know what could possibly be killing a video card besides the PSU and Mobo.
Thanks for any advise,
