This instruction manual, 

A printout of your configuration files, 

The manual of your motherboard, 

A printed screenshot of your BIOS configuration. 

It would also be good for you to sit next to your computer while calling our technicians, in 
order to try out some of the hints immediately. We strongly recommend you to note the name 
of the technician, when contacting our support team. You need this name, if your card is 
defective and must be returned. 

 

Broken?! 

Contact us, before your card is returned to us, note the name of the support technician and 
pay attention to the following points: 

Fill out the service card that comes with your product, completely and explicitly. The more 
detailed you describe the problem, the quicker it can be handled. Contributions without a 
description of the problem cannot be forwarded and will be returned at your expense. 

We strongly recommend you also send in a copy of the receipt or bill (not the original). If 
there is no copy included, we assume that the guarantee time has run out and will repair 
the card at your expense. 

Please use a safe and appropriately protective package. Goods damaged in transit cannot 
be repaired by us under warranty. Experience has shown, that the original package serves 
best for this purpose. Remember that your card is a fragile and sensitive electronic part.
