Unfortunately i already sent the card in for RMA a few days ago and i didn't spot anything burnt or broken.

ok HIS and their out sourced warranty provider finally got me the replacement card after 5 weeks upon receiving the defective card. i reinstalled the backplate and everything looks fine and i even checked it 3 times. when i power up i get the error 75 on my Bloodrage, which is vga problem and its not powering up again. at first i though it got shorted again, but after inspecting it there was no damage at all. What i did next was use electrical tape on the contact side and now it works fine. there must have been a resister or something that has contact, but i can't seem to spot which one.
