Most Critical Review

I just want my two displays back

GIGABYTE Radeon HD 5750 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card GV-R575D5-1GD

Pros: Worked fine out of the box. Windows 7 installed the drivers, I plugged in two monitors, and I was ready to go.

Cons: Just crapped out 7 days outside of Newegg's RMA limit. Attempted RMA through Gigabyte, but the online form which requires my name, will not allow input. So now I need to contact them some other way. Morris code perhaps, because I'd rather toss the thing in the trash than to sit on the phone half the day.

Overall Review: At first I thought it was caused by an automatic Windows update. I restored the system to the day before the update and the card came back. Then when the system went to sleep, the card display disappeared again. Turned the system off overnight, woke up the next day to a normal display, then the system went to sleep and died again. Can't get the card to display since. It should be noted that I'm not a gamer. I thought maybe it was overheating, but that should have happened some other time over the past month because I seldom power the system down. I'm also noticing that after restarts the on-board video isn't holding the resolution settings that I set in Windows.
