My first 7900GS (AGP) was defective. A manufacturing issue and the fan rubbed against the heatsink cover. A few hours later, while it was just idling, i heard a loud 'pop' from my computer and the screen froze. I shut it down, and opened the case to notice a large scortch mark on the graphics card and an electrayitic capacitor rolling around the case. It literally blew up inside my computer, so i sent that back.

The card i got to replace it, was another 7900GS (same model), but half the GPU has burnt itself and displays incorrect images. Luckily there's two DVI ports on the back so i just swapped them and used the other half of the core.
