AH my video card fried.

[Deadphishy]

well it was the day befor yesterday and i was playing around with my computer and all of a sudden the computer froze. i rebooted to see that the screen was all messed up. just a lot of ramdom colors and i couldn't see anything. well the computer boots when it enters windows it just turns off the video card. well guess what my cards warranty ended TWO NIGHTs ago. and I didn't have a working computer to RMA untill Today.
The card is a radeon Sapphire 9000 pro oem.
last but not least, i know that all cards usally have some sort of sticker that says do not remove or you void warranty. i bought this card from newegg.com and it dosn't have a single sticker on it what should i do?. am i SOS or is thier something i could do about this.
Oh man i hope the RMA goes through.

well the RMA went through but what do i do about thier not being any sticker will the send it back? i didn't take any stickers off. anyway as i type i'm running of an OLD S3 virge with 4 mgs of ram. wow i hope it works with UnReal2k3 .J/K.
well what do i do for this RMA process, i've never returned anything to Newegg befor do i just ship them my old Card and they ship me the new one?.

If they approved the RMA, they should send it back regardless if they warranty it or not. The only thing you may have to pay is the handling charge.
