Oh the (not so) sweet irony!!

So I finally got around to overclocking my GTX 570 the other day and even posting a thread about it here.

Well, now I believe it may be dead... Pretty sure the card is cattled.

I was just playing the F.E.A.R 2 expansion WITHOUT overclocks on the card as it chews through old games like that and then the PC just powers off completely and then restarts to a blank screen.

Have replaced it with a 7200 and now running a 7900GS Nvidia and they both work. Tried my poor 570 in my Dads PC and nothing.

This makes me sad

and angry

That said, I bought the EVGA when I did as they were offering all sorts of deals to do advanced RMA's with having the thing collected and stuff like that.

The 5xx series overclocks really well.

I had some great results in Metro 2033 from the overclock. Added around 7 - 10 fps with settings on very high.
