What exactly did your SE Involve to warrant the RMA?

honestly I just said: "There is no video output most times, when I can even manage to get it to output, it has a ton of lines and stuff." the the next reply was if none of their troubleshooting steps they said to do worked to just create an RMA request

exact response: "Verify the PCI-E Slot on the mb with another known working video card since the problem might be caused by the defective PCI-E Slot or defective PCI-E video card. Also, verify the MSI video card into another known working system/pc with known working PCI-E Slot as well to determine the root cause of the problem. If the MSI card is defective then please refer to our website for manufacturer warranty request for the video card: https://service.msicomputer.com/msi_user..._form.aspx"
