They might replace it, it depends on the warranty. I'm not familliar with Asus' warranty policies. Keep trying to get it touch with their tech support.
What about the guy you bought it from? Was it new? Used? Retail or OEM? Was it sold as-is? Did he give any indication that the card was fualty?
The guy seemed to dissapear he never answered my e-mails. It's been about a year and a few months. I dont think the card was new when I bought it. maybe a couple months old. I'm never buying anything used off ebay unless it's at an unbelievable deal. I wonder if asus will help me out.
Uhh...if you've had the card for a year and a few months it seems kind of ridiculous to expect the guy who sold it to you to handle the problems. I've sold quite a few things on Ebay and if some guy sends me an e-mail a year later and tells me "the X you sold me just died", I'd probably tell him tough luck. Not trying to be a jerk, but it's no longer his problem. It was obviously working fine when he sold it so he did so in good faith.
Regarding this problem, I have this same problem on my system. At first I thought it was just the video card turning off, while the system kept running. But I became aware that in fact the whole system also hard locks when the card turns off. The card is fine, this never happens in another machine. I'm almost 100% sure this is due to my motherboard. I have an Asus A7V133 and I'm thinking it must just be a bum board. I have another nearly identical comp with the same exact board, memory etc, and everything runs fine. But this PoS crashes all the time... Anyway, I'd suspect the board, not the card. Put the card in another machine and run with it for a few hours/days and see if it occurs there as well. If not, take that board and RMA it...
