It seems to be near the TVout. WHY ? WHY ? WHY ?

I'm back with my old geforce2mx :(

edit : and it wasn't overclocked !!! WHY ? WHY ? WHY ?
 
did you use tvoout?


edit also there was an old rumor that the card used to pass on the secondary vid settins to your monitor (blowing the monitor) I dunno first thing I always do when I upgrade my drivers is disable the "secondary 9800 pro" in my devices.

I guess the 'secondary' is the TV out and stuff?

Yeah, I don't use that. I just disabled it. I hope my Sapphire 9800 Pro doesn't burn out.

Try and get it replaced...it's obvious you didn't overclock it if it's to do with TV-out.

I guess if they don't accept it, it might be a good excuse to get an x800 or 6800
