I've had my Evga 8800GS for about two weeks so far and have been having many weird but seemingly related issues with it. I can play Call of Duty 4 for hours and then all of a sudden out of no where it will freeze.
When it freezes it usually last 15 seconds and after that I can alt-tab out and close the game.
After the Initial freeze if I start another game windows will freeze for 15 seconds, it also will do this upon minimizing/maximizing and changing resolutions.
I've also had weird issues in Nfsu2 where out of no where the screen will have a random colored hue to it (ex. the whole screen will have a green tint). I've also had graphics corruption and weird texture glitches, Sometimes I also get weird texture corruption in Cod4 around the time of the freezing.
While my game is frozen, if I press the caps lock key or scroll lock key the lights won't come on until the freeze is over. I also get sound looping during the freeze. If I use the sound drivers that came with my motherboard the issues seem more common than if I use newer ones but I'm not completely sure if it's related. I have also used every possible Nvidia driver although the latest beta's seem to help a little.
My temps are fine when the freeze or corruption occurs. I had graphics corruption in Nfsu2 this morning and my core temp was 46* C. My power supply is an Antec Earthwatts 380w with 12v @ 27a total.
I'm not really sure what to do, I could rma it but the problem is that I don't know if this hardware or drivers, assuming hardware because of the graphics corruption but I can't be sure.
What do you think?
Thanks
