Artifacts on 8800gt WTF?
hi, i have reciently been getting a load of green crap appear on my screen while playing games, this happens about once every 24 hours. i dont know why because my card has a light(ish) overclock of 700/1000 that it came with by default and i have upgraded the cooling so i get tempresures no higher than 50C under load.
i have also placed heatsinks on all the memory modules but im not sure that i put them on all voltage regulators and VRMs or whatever.i have the latest nvidia drivers and the airflow in my case is allright. the only thing i can think of is i once overclocked the core to 765mhz which may of been too far but the temp still remained below 50C. by the way i have a 550watt power supply which is a good make so i dont think the problem is there. so if anyone could help me that would be great!! |

If it isn't heat, it's the card. I'd send it back for a new one.

You must have missed something when applying the new HSF, did you apply thermal paste when you put this new HSF on?
