Hey guys I have been getting this on and off since I got my new hardware.. i changed the psu.. still got it occasionally.. I rarely turn the system off, now I've turned it off regulary the last few nights, this morning it wouldnt POST. giving me the above verbal message.. damn i hate that chicks voice LOL.. any ideas? is my video card toast..

History on the video card.. X800 pcie pro initially got it the fan was doa.. i did use it and it did get to 90 degrees c on maybe 4 occasions shutting down the system.. so I got the arctic cooler 4 for it to replace the existing fan..which seemed to work for about 3 wks until this morning..

Any advice? Do I need to RMA the video card.. I get the feeling I should have done that in the first place..

Thanks knowledgable people
