    HD5770 burning smell

    Hey guys, I need some help with a HIS HD5770 that I bought about half a year ago. When I boot up, BIOS alerts me of a video error, my card's fan ramps up to 100% and a red light turns on. If I leave it running, I get a plastic burning smell. This whole ordeal happens on random boot ups, and...
