    I had BOTH of my memory modules die simultaneously in my first beefy computer I built. I was very lucky that OCZ had a lifetime warranty—they didn’t even ask for the memtest results, they just sent me two new sticks.

    Then both of my (SLI) video cards died… those too were in warranty, but I began to wonder if my computer was cursed.

        Yknow that’s what I thought! But after replacing memory and GPU, everything worked great for a year or two until I sold it! I did bring it into my work (I used to work computer repair) and used the shop’s PSU tester which passed it…. I think it was just a fluke! I do know the cards I bought (2 x 7900GT) had a bit of a notoriety for failing, but I do not think the RAM had the same issue.

            The friend I sold it to used the PSU and mobo for another couple years before upgrading, so I think you’re right! Just bad luck on my part hahaha. Thank goodness for good RMA policies!
