Should I return the gpu?
So today I was finally able build my dad's computer after the gpu and mobo arrived and everything worked fine. After many computer reboots later the computer stopped posting and the gpu fan would spin fast(in intervals which I assumed was the computer rebooting). I took out the gpu and stuck it back in and nothing and when I switched gpus it posted. So I thought we had gotten a bad gpu and decided to return it. Being the curious person I am, I continued to mess around and it posted! I don't know if it's because I stuck it back in in a different way or something but it posted. So after contemplating on whither I should return it or not, I decided to come here to ask if someone can perhaps tell me why the gpu acted the way it did.
cpu: AMD x4 645
mobo: biostar TA870U3+
gpu: xfx radeon hd 4850
