| 851621 | 2010-01-25 03:23:00 | You've definitely plugged the 4 pin +12v yellow and black cable from the PSU to the mobo in? It would be good if you could take your graphics card to a mates or a PC shop so it could be tested. |

Although one friend has a pretty old desktop I might be able to try.. |

| 851623 | 2010-01-25 03:36:00 | Air from a can? That should be OK. It's the stuff from a real air compressor that can be too high pressure. Are you sure the graphics card is correctly seated in the slot? Some of them can seem to be in but aren't actually, and the large coolers block you from seeing that they are actually halfway sticking out. Is the graphics card fan plug still attached? |

| 851624 | 2010-01-25 03:36:00 | Oh here's a lil update. After leaving my PC on for around 10 minutes. I felt the back of my video card and it's hot. But with no fan, I'll have to turn it off soon. |

Yeah, I've reattached the card 3 times now. It's sitting like usual. I'll have to open my card up to check if the card fan plug is in, because my card is in like a shell thing. |

Doing this will more than likely void any warranty. Even if the fan isn't going, the card should still work (until it overheats) |

Can I just get a refund? If the fault is reported within the 10 day period (or 30 days if VIP), yes you can have a refund (or a credit if you prefer). If it is outside that period, then the item will be replaced or repaired. |

| 851628 | 2010-01-25 03:55:00 | Yeah, they will replace or fix it if it's under warranty. How old is the card? What brand is it? Asus and Gigabyte have 3 year warranties, everything else has a minimum of a year, often 2 years. Only problem at the mo is you still don't know what's faulty. Can you get hold of another card to test in the PC? It could potentially be PSU, CPU, RAM, Motherboard or Graphics Card, or a combination of any of the above. |

It's the gigabyte one. I'll try get it into a shop or test it on some other parts. Thanks |
