Dual 9800 GTs running SLI, was watching a video on youtube then the video crashed. Computer will boot up with no display to monitor (tried swapping monitors)

Try running single card, and together non-sli. One could have gone bad, but I'd have a hard time believing a simultaneous failure.

had the sticker melt off my nvidia last week.

Yeah, I just ran one card, non sli..it works. Should I just go ahead and consider the good one as about to die as well?

8/9/2011 11:58:12 AM

^ Do you have reason to believe the working card should be about to die?

8/9/2011 12:08:32 PM

Hopefully not.

Have you tried the other on it's own to make sure it wasn't just an el glitcho?

8/9/2011 12:16:10 PM

I did.

lifetime video card warranties FTW

Sadly, if you leave the country with it, warranty goes out the window. YAY FINE PRINT

8/9/2011 1:01:46 PM

well that's fucking lame

8/9/2011 1:02:07 PM

Seriously? Fine print says you can't leave the country with it? That's just fucking lame...

8/9/2011 1:07:52 PM

does it have some supar-sekrit decryption c0d3z

8/10/2011 8:12:22 AM

send card to buddy in US
buddy mails card back to vendor
buddy mails new card to you
...
profit?

There's certainly got to be some way around the fine print garbage. No reason for a card like that to just crap out so soon.

I had an 8800GT go out on me a few weeks after the 3 year warranty was up. It had a lifetime warranty, but only if you sent in some registration card or other - and I never did.
