Yup.  I've had a stick of PNY RAM that went bad and fried a perfectly
good motherboard; it had no identifying marks on it, and PNY refused to
admit that it was theirs.

On an overlapping occasion I bought a PNY video card that failed eight
months into its life; it took them two months to replace it.  To their
credit, they upgraded the replacement (GeForce4 Ti4200 to GeForce4
Ti4600), complete with a big "Congratulations! You have been upgraded!"
note.  That card failed in turn three days after installation.  It took
them three weeks to replace it the second time, and the second
replacement silently downgraded me again to the original Ti4200.
