My 8800GTX has been awesome for the past 2.5 years I've owned it, but recently it's been causing issues. I was playing L4D2 and the game froze, with green "w" like lines all over the screen. I rebooted, tried again, same thing. Updated the drivers, checked the temperature of the card (which wasn't hot), and tried again. Same thing.
So, my first question is has anyone else experienced this? I'm assuming yes, and my guess is someone will say heat issues. My second question is, what is a good replacement/upgrade? My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R, which only has PCI-e x16 1.0 (I think?) so I don't think I can get any 2.0 card.
