Picked up the GTX 260 from the FS forums here today.
Sounds to me like a power issue. Electronics that arent getting enough juice voltage/amperage wise tend to die when you shut them off and try to power them on again. Just to be on the safe side I would take your power supply and put it on a voltage tester or test with multimeter make sure you are within spec. Failing electronics are like light bulbs they never die when they are on they die when you hit that power button and give it that last little surge. It coulda been the cards but after 2 dying on you the same exact way I would check your power make sure its clean to be safe man.
