So I come home, turn on my PC expecting to play some WoW, but instead I get no picture on my monitor and my computer beeps at me several times. WTF??!! So I start trying to diagnose the problem (thinking it was either CPU or video card since I jsut upgraded both recently) and found out it was the video card. I swapped in my old ti4200 in place of the culprit 6800gt agp, and now that the ti4200 is in, the computer works just fine. Well, I want to know what happened to my 6800gt???...

The only problem I was previously having was after I would play WoW for a few hours straight the game might crash, and that problem just started within the last few days, the card had worked fine for the previous few weeks. Usually just a reboot would solve this the crashing issue. The card was not overclocked. The only overclock I had was on the FSB. I bought the card off of a member on this forum, so I don't know if I can send it back to leadtek either. Any ideas on why my vid card just suddenly decided to die???

Excuse my sig, it's outdated....I now have a 2800+ Barton (the 133 FSB version running at 148 FSB) and the Leadtek A400 6800GT agp version
 
any idea of what part of leadtek i need to contact? i tried contacting them last night but it led me to some form that asked for information including date of purchase and whre i purchased, so i didn't wanna be dishonest there or say somethingthat would prevent me from getting a return.
