One night I started getting artifacts then BSOD in all games. Sometimes I could ctrl alt del out before the BSOD and check temp - not even close to getting hot. I thought it was a software problem, so I reformatted + clean Win7RC1 64-bit install. After a couple days it returned. I reinstalled again. Tonight it really started getting screwed up. My startup/BIOS screen has artifacts now. I pulled the card out, took off the plastic covering and cleaned the dust out of the heat sink. Problem still there.
It's out of warranty, so any ideas to fix this? Or should I look for a new card? My next upgrade will be a build from scratch, so there's no point in getting something that will be bottle necked by my E6600.
Note: Sorry if this post is incoherent. It's 3:30am and I've been troubleshooting for way too long. :sleepy:
