I get green and purple artifacts all over the screen after playing BF2 for more than 4-5 minutes straight. Eventually it will lock up the computer and force me to reboot. After rebooting, if I check the NVIDIA control panel, my vid card temp is up around 80-90 degrees celcius and dropping fast. If I let it settle, it'll usually drop to around 60 degrees celcius at idle. Is my card overheating? The GPU fan seems to be running fine and the ambient case temp is at around 40 degrees.
If I check the event viewer in WinXP it shows an error in the COM+ Event Handler coinciding with the time that the computer locked up. After much googling, I think it might be related to the Forceware drivers, though I've tried the 73.xx, 77.72s, and the 80.40 betas at guru3d (on BFG tech support's suggestion).
Are there any decent coolers that won't give me issues fitting a BFG 6600GT OC AGP? I've been out of the cooling/ocing game for a while.
