i think i found out why my card doesnt overclock..a possibility at least

alright, well if you look in the AMD CPUS forum, then you would see that i am having problems with my computer, so during the whole thing i changed out video cards, and while i was looking mine over (the gf3 ti200) i noticed that one of the surface mounted capacitors (the tiny rectangular ones that are soldered straight to the pcb...you know what i mean) was coming off, and when i flipped the card upside down...it fell off..ill get a picture of it tomorrow, to show you where it is...but do you think this could have messed up the card?

Is the card still working now?When things fall off of hardware they tend to never work again.Well thats been my experience anyway.

Yeah, when things start falling off the care, I guess you could call that a BAD thing. If it still works, then... ok, don't ask questions... But I would start saving for a new card.

its still under warranty, im gonna RMA it as soon as i get my computer working..i have until january to send it back, cause thats when i bought it..just glad i never took off the heatsink.

as far as i know it works...but then my computer doesnt work, so i cant really test it fully
