i bought a powercolor 3870 512mb from overclockers.co.uk and since ive had it ive not o/cd it but it runs really hot and crashes after playing games for about an hour.after a reboot it says in ccc that its 90c i contacted ocuk and told them they gave me rma number, i sent it back, they tested it said it was fine sent it back to me and charged me nicely for the pleasure without even telling me how much it would cost, they just took the cash from my account so now im £22+p&p of £8 for me to send to them down and have still got a useless gfx card.the main thing thats hacked me off is that ive just spent like a load of cash at ocuk doing my whole pc upgrade.is there anything else i can do in regards to the gfx card rma it again or trying getting in touch with powercolor .think my next pc upgrade will be through a different supplier thats for sure.
