Greetings and salutations
This may come of a surprise to many (read: at least some) of you to see me create a thread here. Worry not as it is not a major concern. During the weekend I was playing World of Warships with Purestorm. He created a BRTD group on the EU server. I have a Gneisenau now going up to the Bismark. Oh, I am going off-topic.
During our play-session my computer decided to shut-down. I rebooted and tried to play again. The computer shut-down again. This time I was worried and started smelling something burnt. I opened the case and smelled the smell on the upper part of the desktop. I was worried it would be either the CPU or the motherboard.
Upon doing another reboot a plume of smoke appeared from behind the GPU. Utterly dreadful! The GPU was the most expensive part of the entire build. I remove said GPU and rebooted successfully and let the computer run for 5 minutes.
Thus we are at the RMA process with EVGA. I sent them the Amazon invoice and I am hoping we can get an RMA going. I sent my reply as of creating this thread. It will be some time during shipping if we get this far.
Currently, I am on my old gaming rig. I will not be able to participate on Planetside 2 as this rig has seriously gone downhill. If worst comes to worst I have enough disposable income to purchase another GPU.
