Computer meltdown!!!!!!!!

**[usbdt]ninjabearsuey** · 01-25-12, 04:05 PM

So we were drinking last night watching some shit on demand and i spy out of the corner of my little eye FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The video card caught on fire a pny gtx 260. We think it was the card pictures to come. I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about cards just randomly catching fire. There was no load on the card it was pretty much idle.

oh my..... dust build up maybe?

if the card caught fire I would not trust the power supply (probably shorted in the process), or maybe the motherboard either....

Wow is right. Crazy. Is that card missing the shroud? Or is it a passive cooled model? Cause I don't see a shroud or a fan for dust to have built up on/in. Was it overclocked/volted? Cause it looks like a transistor is where the heat started.
