So I bought this card when it first came out and I have been haveing problems with it ever since. This card seems to have a problem of crashing randomly with a black screen or even random colours.

Take a look at the reviews for the card.

The thing is I have had this happen since I bought the card, so around 2 years. I contacted gigabyte and they kept saying it's my computers fault and its a driver issue and I believed them. But after all this time its still here. The card always seems to crash and the only way I have been able to play is by lowering the core and memory clock speeds. Looking at the reviews even when you RMA the card they seem to get a refurbished card with the same problem. I really dont know what to do. I want to RMA the card but am scared that it will be waste of time and money shipping it just to get the same broken card again. Could anyone help me out with what I should do?
