260 fan shutdown

[Eyeball Kid]

I just installed a 260 yesterday (Not the new one) and everything seemed fine. I was browsing tonight, not stressing the system at all, and my monitor suddenly showed no signal - I pulled the case open and the fan on the card had stopped, causing the card to shutdown. I rebooted and everything came back ok. Just played a half hour of COD4 without issue also. Anybody had a similar experience? My PSU is a 500w Enermax Liberty, with both PCI power connectors installed correctly in the card, but as I said, I wasn't stressing the system at all when it happened.

If it happens again - rma it.

your power supply should be enough. However, is your cpu overclocked? how many drives and fans do you have. If you have a couple of drives, fans, and your cpu is overclocked then that might be a power issue. But like mega said, rma if it happens again.

No overclocking, one 500gb drive, two 120mm fans and CPU not overclocked. My problem is I live in Barbados and it's a bitch to get anything like this replaced.
