How do I check and test if one of my EVGA 295 FTW Edition Graphics Cards are defective? Games lockup, freezes. Sometimes I get a system beep but I still have access to the desktop and games. Has of late NVIDIA's driver support for these kinds of cards just suck to say the least! I'm running two of these cards in Quad SLI mode.

    What are your system specs? Knowing them would help a lot in troubleshooting

    Take one of the 295's out. If the one remaining passes, it's good. If it fails, it might be RMA time.
