damnit, damnit,damnit. I can say this word all day.:fu: :fu: :fu:

I bought an Epox Nforce 2 motherboard this thursday. The board worked fine after I installed it. After a couple of hours when i turned off my comp and tried to turn it back on it stoppped working. It wouldnt power up. i put back my old motherboard and everything was working fine. I came this morning to the store and had the board replaced. So i went home, installed the new one and went to the bios, after exiting the bios the board stopped working again. Although this time there's power but no video signal. I tried using a pci video card and it didnt work either. On the motherboard Led it says FF which i think means Fully Functional.

Now after putting back my old motherboard i found that my precious geforce 4 is freakin dead.
Just like this guy from amdbm.com

nope. the card seems fine. i dont smell anything in my case that fried.

The card either got killed by the mobo or it just didnt feel like letting me play games anymore.

I havent RMA'ed anything before and i think i lost the reciept. Ive had this card for almost a year. I cant find any information on MSI's website on how to rma products.
