That great deal on the video card yesterday? Maybe not such a bargain after all. I used the computer briefly this morning and all was well. When I came back a few hours later I had no video. I checked cables, adapters, connections and everything I could think of, but nothing brings back the image. If I pop in my old video card, all is well.
I can return it within 30 days, but I don’t want to do that. Anticipating this situaition, I sprung for the 2-year replacement warranty for $2.49 (c’mon - I spend more than that on a cup of coffee). Now to find out how that warranty actually works and if I can get something that works for my same minimal investment. I played a little Battlefield 3 last night and was really enjoying the performance, and I don’t want to go back to what I had before. Too bad the computer is such a power-hogging space heater, otherwise I’d use it a bit more often.

You may just need to replace the power supply. I’ve had the same issue before and I just needed more juice.

I got a HD7770 replaced on warrenty due to coil whine. Paid for shipping to their RMA center which was 50$-ish, and they sent me a brand new one... From their Hong Kong warehouse. Which means i had to cover import fees on the RMA card, which left me just some 30$ shy of getting a brand new card instead. Oh and the card i got back had just as much coil whine, AND a loose heatsink.
Good luck with your warrenty :(
