Damnit man.. I hosed my GF2MX yesterday with arctic silver epoxy.. I knew I got some on the pins of the ram, did my best to clean it off, maybe I got more on them when I put the heatsink on, either way, the video card goes black at random now, can't do ANY 3d.. Have to press the windows key, and put the computer into standby mode for about a minute to get the video to come back.. It's driving me nuts.. Guess I'm getting a Radeon VE with my tax return.. They seem pretty cheap, and should outperform my MX with their DDR ram and all.. So as a future note, be VERY CAREFUL with Arctic Silver on ram chips.. This card will be tossed into my junk box for future use in a Linux server or something..
