eVGA FX5700 Ultra problem...

[SycoraX]

I'm experiencing some weird FX5700 ultra distortion/discoloration problems when in games. It's fine in desktop, but whenever you enter a game, it looks something like this:

in the beginning of UT2004)

Any ideas?

Btw, the card is not overclocked. The heat doesnt seem to be an issue either.

defective card or overheating, make sure the fan is spinning and the heatsink is on good.
I highly suggest you rma the card if its not a cooling problem, evga had really good rma policies i hear.

UT2004 is an nVidia game, so I guess that's "The Way It's Ment to Be Played."

Thanks for replies. I highly doubt it's overheating. Maybe it's something in the BIOS. I'll try. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

I put the card into a different system and now it seems to work fine. So the card is OK. Something is wrong either in BIOS settings, or the whole windows installation.
