Blown Graphics Card and Memory?!?!?

Hello all....

I am writing to ask if anyone has experienced a similar issue. A few weeks ago my 9860 (Hypersonic EX-7) would not post. It was getting power, but the BIOS was not posting. It was my first problem with the machine since I received it in February. Lucky for me it was still under warranty so I sent it back to Hypersonic. After reading alot of messages in this forum, I thought I had been plagued with the dreaded 'dead mobo' problem. However, the techs at Hypersonic tell me that the graphics card and memory had both blown out. Hmmm... Has anyone had a similar experience? Does anyone think that gaming too hard on this laptop would kill the graphics card? I go to school in Australia and it gets hot there in the summer, but I am not overclocking anything and have the fans on full speed when I game. I am worried that it may happen again.

Any feedback would be great.

Thank you

I think I might of killed my graphics card. I was having problems with heat and my comp was generally running shitty. At first I had to put Artic silver on the graphics card but by the end of this last summer I had the same problems as before. I RMA it and found out they replaced the graphics card. Kinda weird though cause I could still use the computer (BIOS was fine) but I guess I burned it to death ~Kray
