TWO BURNED OUT Video Cards in XPS710 SYSTEM in 1 YEAR ANYONE ELSE WITH SAME PROBLEM
System XPS 710 with 7900GS video cards X two in SLI
The first card burned out after only one year. Dell replaced them. Than less than a year another crad burned out. Is anyone else having this problem with the XPS 710 with their video card?
Dell claims there is not a problem with the the card and mother board. I note that another Dell system is recalled with the probelm with the 7900 video card. I also know that NVIDIA had a problem with the power module on many of this chip that was produced in China.
I always had good service with Dell however this has caused me to think twice with another purchase. I presently run 4 systems from Dell and that will be the last.
The purpose of this e-mail to verify if anyone else is having problems or had a failure with the 7900 GS.
Thanks

Your post may be modified or deleted. If you read the terms of service you would know not to post your email address.
Also; you cannot use this board for discussing legal actions.
As for the cards; the 7900GS is known to run hot and have a higher than normal failure rate (not just in Dell systems, but in general).
