I'm thinking the same.
For a board in this price range, they might have included way more options, compared to other brands.

Nope, not yet.
I checked the card with a magnifying glass but I can't seem to find any physical damage on it.
Tried installing the card again but it wouldn't post.
After that, I installed the 280GTX and it works fine.

Although I had a scary moment.
After installing the nvidia drivers, I rebooted and entered the bios.
I made a small change in the Voltage settings menu, saved and exit.
After restart, I got the same crap, endless reboots.
Unplugged the cables and let it rest for 1 hour.
Restarted and it was back alive. Thank god, I already thought something went wrong with my 280GTX.

Backup'd the bios using an old PS/2 keyboard, worked without a problem.

Only thing I hope for now is no more trouble.
