Weird video card problem

The deal is:

I have a crossfire setup, 2 x1900xt's.

The dongle cord connecting them is pulling down on the DVI input where its connected on the crossfire card, causing discoloration in the display, which at first I thought was my monitor going bad.
The DVI input is actually LOOSE on the card now and I have to prop the cord against the wall to keep it stable so it doesnt pull down on the input and discolor.

I dont know how long it will last like this but I sure dont want it to short something/fry everything....

So now, I am either:

going to replace the card itself or go with something like an nvidia for now but of course it will have to be powerful enough to match the performance of the 1900's...


what would you guys do?

the card is too old to RMA, easily over a year.

I might contact ATI and see what I can do, thanks.....

most BBA retail cards used to carry 3 year warrenties, used to be one of their selling points
