How worried should I be?

I've had this Windforce 670 for about two months and I had two red screens so far, both happening at boot. First time I had the card with a mild oc, like 70 on the core and 100 on the memory, and I was running Afterburner and the Ai suite.
I read somewhere that third party software may be the cause for the red screens so I went ahead and uninstalled both the Afterburner and the Asus suite, leaving the card at stock.

Currently I'm mainly playing SC2 and Age of Mythology and I didn't have any issues with those, except some random artifacts in AOM(very rare though).

Yesterday I saw my second red screen, and I started thinking there might be something wrong with the card after all. I don't have any of the third party software running.

Should I just RMA the card?

If everything is at stock and it still red screens, then I would be worried too. Do you have a pci-e 3.0 motherboard?

Red screens + occasional Artifacting = RMA :)

I have 2.0 lanes on the board, it's a Z68-V LE.

Looks like RMA time then:thumbsup:

I'd say first uninstall any software and run the card at stock.

Do that for about a couple of weeks, and if you run into issues RMA the card.

At least that's how I trouble shoot.
