Well I just got card #5 in the mail....Not even 2 hours in my machine...Dead....I metered my ps rails, and they're just right, 12.05 and 5.06....I've been running a fx5200 on my machine as a spare card....And it's lasted almost weeks now without the slightest problem.....So it's not my motherboard....But all I have to say as that as soon as I get this card back from RMA it's up for grabs...I'm going the evga route.....Any other good companys or recommendations? I know evga is pretty good because my best friend has the same machine I do same specs and everything, and has been running an Evga 6800 for almost 8 months solid now....Oh and BFG's product manager supposedly tested this card himself....I even got the email from him...Here it is as follows:
Just wanted to let you know that I am personally testing a 6800GT card for you and it will go out overnight today with a pre-paid tag for return shipping.

So yeah...I'm through with BFG and warnings to all you other buyers out there, if you want a card that runs right the first time, steer clear of BFG...(and no I'm not a troll, I'm just posting my real life experience)...And before you ask....I haven't overclocked any of my video cards....So I'm not the one at fault....
EDIT: And yes this is the system in my sig
