MSI GeForce 6600GT just blew up!
smell burning! I looked inside and found the fan on the video card stopped. Sure enough, after I replaced the video card with a spare, the computer booted up fine. Thankfully it's an easy to replace part, still under warranty, but DANG! I wonder why it blew up??? -Max On Tue, 22 Mar 2005 00:49:10 GMT, "Max"
