I had my system running care free for about 3 days until I had a problem.
My build consists of a P8P67 pro, i5 2500K oc'ed to 4.5gigz, Mushkin Silverline 2x4gig ram, Corsair 850w HX and a ASUS HD 6870 Direct CU.
Problems popped up when I first installed the graphics card, the VGA_LED and LED on the graphics card lit up. But I moved it to the second PCI-E_16 slot on my mobo then it suddenly worked. So I moved it back to the first slot, it was running DA2 on max with texture pack for 3 days without a single problem, then I left my PC running (nothing was running in the background btw) which obviously made it go into hibernation. When I came back to my pc I pressed my spacebar on my keyboard and the "Resuming Windows.." screen showed up, then my pc goes blank and resets in the space of 2-3 seconds. When it starts posting I get no display and the VGA_LED on my mobo is lit up, but no light on the graphics card, also the fan on the GPU is spinning. So I decided to borrow my brothers Vapour-X graphics card which is very similar to mine (same ram, voltage and power draw as far as I know) and that worked perfectly fine, reinstalled my HD 6870 and it still didn't work. I'm guessing I'll need to RMA my card, but dose anyone know if I'm eligible for a replacement card? I'm also wondering if anyone knows what happened to my card, I was guessing some kind of voltage disturbance, but I had the feeling this card was dodgy from day one.
