    I did not modify the card's performance. Concerning the warranty, I can check tomorrow. I did not modify the card's performance. This is the card:

    You can say you bought the card *recently* and one day when you turned your computer on it just *stopped* working.

    Never ever ever ever tell them what the problem might be. Just pretend ignorance and say it stopped working. I once told BFG what I thought happened to the card and they said "Ha! Sucker thats 250$ you just lost and you aint gettin it back! Even though the card is only 2 weeks old"

    I see it's an OC 'out of the box' job. You should try taking/sending it back. Contact the supplier first and see what they have to say. If they are no help, go to the manufacturer to get it replaced under warranty. Just describe the faults and if they ask whether you've OC'd it, simply answer no and refer to the "OC" in the product description (i.e. the card is already overlocked, so why would you want to OC it further?). This is not complicated, get it sorted out sooner rather than later.

    I'll do this as soon as I am done with finals next week. I think the warranty is for a year, so there's some time left.

    Also, I'm sticking to EVGA and newegg for parts from now on...

    Not exact wording... but imply that it is recent and that it just stopped working.

    Bestbuy is one of the worst places for pc parts. Saw my same exact 9800+ in there for 500$ when I bought it on new egg for 150$

    I just read their warranty mircoprint. You have to register the product within thirty days to get the lifetime warranty. Improper registrations only only get a one year warranty. I got this thing in September. I hope I didn't screw up.
