Not sure if this belongs in OT, but I thought somebody here would have better input...
I bought an MSI 6600GT AGP here on AT from another trader (a good trader who I've traded with before). Card arrived fine but had definite "issues".
So I sent it in for RMA. MSI sent me a refurb 6600GT (different serial). This card looked to be working OK for a couple hours and then gave me that nVidia power warning (weird cuz I have a good 500W PSU). It then corrupted text in Oblivion and textures in CSS. Seemed to be heat related since it would happen after 10-15 minutes.
I RMAed the card. MSI sent it back doing nothing. I sent the card again in for a 3rd RMA after giving a detailed complaint over the phone. They checked it again and sent it back w/o doing anything.
What are my rights now as a consumer? I'm not the original purchaser, but they had no problem doing 3 RMAs (with me paying for shipping first 2 times). I asked to get the next higher AGP card and the guy at MSI said it's not likely (prior to 3rd RMA) since it would be a 7300GS.
Should I file a complaint with BBB?
It's like pulling teeth with this company. EVGA - just sent them a bare dead card and then sent a NIB card.

... They don't send your card back without testing your card on 3D 2003 and 3D 2006 mark. if it doesn't crash in the testing processes then the card is alright. So i think the issue is with your Power Supply.
