    Just today...

    Me: Hey, just got through checking the computer and it seems to be locking up because your video card is overheating. Memory tested OK, and the machine runs fine with the onboard video.

    Customer: That can't be right! Those cards have a Lifetime Warranty! Besides, We Be Computers has already replaced that card twice. It can't be bad!

    Me: Were all the cards the same model?

    Customer: Yeah.

    Me: Do you see a pattern here?

    The video card at issue is a passively cooled 7600GS with a heatsink that looks like it might have been made from an old wire shelf and a hubcap.
