    GTX 470 causes random reboots?

    Ok, I sent my 2 week old GTX470 card back for RMA. It took 2 weeks. Guess what PNY shipped me back? A Refurbished unit, that is all scratched and used looking. I called and left their support messages and emailed them how extremely angry I am that I sent them a 2 week old $380 card...

    GTX 470 causes random reboots?

    I saw the same thread, but the idiots he sent it back to, said they checked his card and mailed it back to him. they never replaced it. Reason I don't think it is drivers is because, it doesn't matter what version drivers you use. I tried several old ones, current, and developer ones...

    GTX 470 causes random reboots?

    I know people with the GTX 465 with no issues whatsoever. so i am sure if it was just drivers, it would effect all kinds of cards.

    GTX 470 causes random reboots?

    Mine started out with a few times a week, and gradually got worse and worse, to the point I was getting BSOD on startup. Popped in a $60 video card from officemax, and my computer works fine again. This GTX 470 is a total paper weight, and it seems that none of the MFG's want to admit...

    GTX 470 causes random reboots?

    And the funny thing is, PNY acts like they never head of this problem. I said, well, funny, when I had my GTX 270, I had no issues. Since the 470 install, nothing but errors, reboots, BSOD, and unrecoverable black screens.

    GTX 470 causes random reboots?

    I tried the developer drivers, tried turning off the pci-e power control, nothing fixes it. These cards are complete junk. I am sending mine back RMA tomorrow. I think these are lemons.

    GTX 470 causes random reboots?

    I know. I don't have a replacement card either, and don't want to be without a computer for 2-3 weeks, or get a refurb unit back to replace my new unit. Aghhh! It seems like different brands are doing the same thing, not just mine, which is a PNY. Maybe it is a major flaw with the...

    GTX 470 causes random reboots?

    I am having the same problems. I have had a GTX 270 for 2 years with no issues. Upgraded to the PNY GTX 470 and now I have: When computer goes to sleep, and you wake it, screen will stay black and not recover. You have to do a hard reboot to fix. Random reboots happen for no reason...
