How long to go? A split second, that's all - no blue screen or overheating prior to it blowing, PC just clicked off and i thought i'd tripped a switch on my electrical supply to my house. Tried turning back on and got a tiny burst of power, then it went dead. This happened every time i tried to turn on my PC, so once everything was checked over, it was obvious that it was the graphics card which had gone - i was playing HL2 at the time with res. set at 1600x1200, but had Nvidia temp control running and it hadn't overheated, just got a spike from powersupply.
