Well I have have my GTX480 for about a month now, since the beginning of May pretty much 24/7 on gpugrid with fan at 100%. I was just on firefox checking the forums and the computer just shutdowns and my room fills with the smell of burnt hardware. Open my case and its even worse, remove the gpu kind of had an idea that would the culprit and it smelt like something definitely got fried. Replaced it with a GTX295 and no issues. It sucks I now have to RMA a card that only had a month of use on it and have to pay the darn shipping costs Not to mention the more than likely slow turn around time from evga.
