and not by choice... pictures to come. pictures are here.
The story: Nothing much to it. Was asleep, suddenly the acrid burnt electronics smell woke me up, looked at my PC, it was off when it was left on. I went to it and could tell that's where the smell was coming from. Started taking the case apart trying to localize the smells origin. Noticed the scorch marks on the vid card, and let out the usual "F***!".
No idea how or why it happened. Card had been working fine and only a couple of times did I overclock it. Last thing done with it was I installed the newest drivers (344.11). Now I gotta go through the original box and paperwork and see about getting a RMA on this thing.
