Whats a moniter card, graphics card ? Do you clean your pc regularly ? 90% of problems on comps are caused by dust.

lol. i like monitor card. yeah if it gets dusty they can easily heat up and burn out. could be surges, but i doubt it would hit your monitor card and not anything else.

u can plug ur monitor into the motherboard and use "onboard graphics" which r ****e or if u plug ur monitor into a seperate card, the "graphics card" then it will run off that So,

Monitor card = graphics card I believe :p No idea what could be causing it to blow up though, over heating seems logically as has been stated

could be your motherboard overvolting it?

i highly dowt its to heat , the card was a month old.

edit : buy some compressed ait off ebay and a paint brush to brush ur fans off ( air wont get it off fans ) also get coretemp ,this will tell you what your cpu is running at and what load.

dont use a hoover 2 close to your pc , this causes static elecricity and can fry parts.

Sounds like a faulty power supply 2 in a couple of months.
