    Graphics problem

    Got a new card recently, the 7600gs, installed the software and all, everything worked fine. I pulled up bf2 and everything ran really well with everything on high, a good steady fps, but soon after it just froze, and my screen changed colors, and this happens very often. I installed COD4 which ran fine, everything runs fine except for that flaw in bf2. Another thing is when I switch the Nvidia settings and put it on High Performance, everything is just weird colors, but this happened with my old graphics card also, and when I reboot with it on the high performance it locks up on the windows screen leaving me to start in safe mode to reinstall the nividia software.
    Any ideas?

      Sounds like overheating to me or simply a broken card

        Is the PSU too small? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817153023
        Also I still have time to return it if the card itself is just flawed, from reviews I read it should run it. Or possibly just a fan issue, if so I have like 4 extra fans sitting around.

        Edit: I installed that Ntune thing, and ran BF2, surprisingly nothing was over-heating and I had no crashes. It stayed at 50-60C, I just reinstalled my drivers in safemode, and am now reinstalling Bf2.
