Damn the GTX 280!

I had just bought an EVGA GTX 280 for my PC and installed it with no problems…then I turned the PC on and noticed a long continuous beep followed by a shorter one. I check the manual on the CD and it turns out that the card is faulty. So now I have to go through all this hassle of sending it back, getting a replacement and seeing if I can get it working. What a nightmare!
