Funny thing is I know 4 computer techs who do this for a living that will say different.
They tell me do not turn the system off and on...just keep it on with a screensaver as the constant heating and cooling of the parts will cause more damage/wear to the parts and cause more problems than just keeping it on.
As for who to blame..you really have to blame the manufacturer.Most build there own cards and just use the Nvidia GPU's.I had 3 BFG cards in a 2 month period of time all blow out with a faulty capacitor.So needless to say I do not buy from BFG any longer.
It is getting pretty bad with the new cards and there shoddy craftsmanship and short life anymore..I remember buying my first GeForce card after 3DFX went out of buisness..that lasted me for nearly 1-1 1/2 years and was still good when I upgraded.Now like was said your lucky if they last for 4-5 months before they burn out on you.
