Especially if being overheated. All vendors had issues with them, including Dell and HP.

In the case I experienced, EVGA was not acknowledging there was a widespread issue even though many others were reporting the same issue. Many people RMA'd their cards and received replacement cards that had the same issue. So, no, EVGA doesn't get a free pass on this one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16814130330
