I lost two nvidia cards to blown caps recently as well. I've also lost about 25 motherboards over the last 2 years also. So I don't think it has anything to do with heat as much as a faulty cap. Basically one company in China produced bad caps for about a year and those caps made their way into every vendor on the planet. Was quite a problem for the industry really. Mainly caps with an "X" mark on the top were bad. Although the faulty video card caps seemed to be marked "K." In any case most industry analysts figure the problem is essentially solved, so caps produced after that fiasco should be up to the normal standards. If you want you can replace the caps and the card should function again. -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
