Recently I installed the 180.43 beta drivers and used them for about a day and everything was going ok. I didn't game very much on them in that period. Now yesterday I fire up a game and all the sudden textures got all out of wack and artifacts were everywhere. I exited the game and I had blue/yellow banding occurring on the monitor. So I uninstalled the driver and driversweeped it thinking it was the driver and reinstalled some drivers I was using previously that worked. Same issue. Games crashing, blue/yellow banding. I formatted, reinstalled the drivers that used to work and still have the same problem.

In event viewer I get errors :
Event ID : 1003 "System Error"
Event ID : 108 "nv"
Event ID : 60055 "setup"
A bunch of Service Control Manger and DCOM errors

What could this be?
 
Overheating maybe? Try possibly upping the Fan to 100% over the stock 60%? Do you know the temps? If you revert back to the older drivers that use to work, do you have still have issues?
 
I tried gaming within 5 minutes of turning it on this morning and it still had problems. I set the fan speed to 100% and the same problem happened. Yes, the issues are present with the drivers that used to work. I also had issues with the display displaying incorrectly during the bios screen and the windows loading screen..
 
Damn. Sounds like it could be a hardware concern. If it happens at the Bios screen, thats rough. Cause that means windows has nothing to do with it at that point. So drivers or software arent relevent. It sounds like the videocard could be on its way out. Or possibly something became unseated? Any aftermarket cooling on it? Fan possibly stop working? Heatsink loose?

My brother had this happen long ago with his Ti4600. Unfortunately artifacts were met by a Pink/Black checkered screen on reboot. Tried a reboot again and was greeted to no video. It just gave up the ghost completely.

Sorry man, hopefully the card isn't going out.
 
Yes, during post I get multi-colored lines across the image and it goes black and it has lines of weird characters/symbols like the ones you see in character map. :confused: Now when I get into windows it runs at a very very low bitdepth and the video card never detects. It also has pink/yellow/blue grid patterns and lines everywhere..

I tried disconnecting 1 DVD drive and 2 HDD's and my Soundcard to see if power was an issue and that's not it.
 
I'm pretty sure your graphics card is dying. The same thing happened with my 7900 GT.

Time to RMA, I guess.
