uninstall reinstall drivers?

Is it a gaming issue or are you having problems in 2d apps as well?

Games only...

Temps are...
59C core idle...

and my Clocks are 600/1800...

I am using good drivers, and i have played games with them after installing these drivers and everything was fine.

CPU is at 36C...
 
Similar things happened to my 7900GT last May. I believe then it was related to a memory error on a bad batch of 7900GT's. But you have a 8800GTS so I dunno if it can still be attributed to memory.
 
looks like a magnet/speaker to close to an old crt monitor
 
I have a 17 inch Viewsonic VA702B which happens to be a Flat Panel....

Here are some pics from CS Source i took after this happened...

So is it only happening in source? What about HL2 or other graphically intense games?
 
You need to RMA the card. This is a texture related issue. It "could" be memory or a multi-texture problem. It could even be the GPU itself. But it is broken and you will not be able to fix it yourself. You could try underclocking it and this could confirm the card is hosed.

Best of luck getting to the real problem.
 
Wierdest stuff... i really thought it was my GPU since it was the textures as you stated... And then i remove one program i had just installed (logmein.com) and everything is fine.....

Dont use logmein.com and if you do be careful.

Just being curious, but what is logmein?
 
its sort of like goto my pc where you install the program on your PC and can access it and use it from anywhere on earth.
 
Get evga to send you a 8800ultra free since your being their bitch. :p

memory usually holds the textures.

Still, it might be a problem that is only triggered by certain loads (temperature, voltages, etc.). I would stress the hell out of your card, and if it shows artifacts AT ALL RMA the damn thing.

Hey, what have you got to lose? If you stress it to hell and it doesn't flinch, then your card is probably ok.
 
I played CS on max settings for 2 hours without a single artifact. pwned some noobs so badly that they said i was hacking... it made me feel good. :D 7-1 KD ftw.

Anyways, i have tested everything and i have yet to run into this problem again. Once i deleted this program everything was fine. Ive also played 2 hours of BF2 and i had no problems with temps or textures. It was absolutely and without a doubt that program's fault.
