The connection at that pin may have been a little loose. This could cause arcing between the pin and it's sleeve which would make some extra heat. You could try a different molex connector in your PC. When I had a 9700 pro I had similar problems (no visible burns on anything, but I had the lock ups, and such). It just happened out of the blue after having the card a few months. I just switched to a different molex connector and it worked.
