You can add in an image however it won't help , the card is faulty and isn't working apparently .

It can't be RMAed.

It is bsoding every time he starts windows up,also he says that he used gloves so it is probably not static electricity.And that blue line is always there in the same place,he has an image of it,is there a way i can upload image here

Most probably he did something wrong when he changed the cooler so the system is heating up and causing BSOD moreover he could have had a borderline card ( meaning its faulty somewhere ) so he exposed the weakness of the card by messing up with it.

The only reason he's selling it is because he can't RMA as the warranty is voided , avoid such a deal .
