    Let us know what you think about it once you get it running.

    Reinstall of windows takes 15minutes, software/drivers another 15.

    ICE solved it by his way, just sent it back without trying to do clean OS install.
    A lot of people gave him advices to try. Well, I have no idea why he asked for help anyway.
    And 2 days later he had GTX680.

    Transition from nV to AMD or back may be problematic as are sometimes updated or downgrading of drivers once you manage to get running nV+AMD in one system w/ nV as PhysX card.

    Here on guru3d we are people with abilities...
    So use them, reinstall OS, if it's W7 then update to SP1. And after that install new drivers since they require SP1. If it's broken, at least you would know that it is.

    Was previous card in 2nd test system AMD? But yes, if it does exactly same thing, it may be cold contact at some VRM or along the lane not providing enough current.

    I always wonder about behavior of such system. (each is bit different)
    Does sound loops when it happens, or system continue to respond w/ just unresponsive GA.
    Not that it really matters. One of test would be limit card to much lower clock in 3D.

    Edit: For things between known and electrons I have backup image of clean OS which I can deploy on USB stick/HDD to do testing.
