Looks like your video memory is overheating.

Fans? Ramsinks? If you can cool it off sufficiently, and it improves, you're set. Otherwise, RMA/Replace the card. Memory could be going bad.

I agree. Looks like memory, to me. How long have you had this video card? In any case, looks like an RMA is in order to fix your problem. (although, you could put an enhanced HSF on the card with RAM heatsinks or underclock it a bit to get it to work)

If you have stock clocks, then it's your vid card dying out from heating. It happened to my 6800GT, but since i had BFG, got a new one no problem. Underclocking is one option. I'm assuming since you have a 9800XT, you probably got it long ago, so another would be getting a new vid card, but if it's not the case then RMA.

Last option: pretend u spilled salt over the screen and haven't cleaned it up (don't ask me how you spill salt over something vertical like this)

Thanks for help, I see not easy to fix.

Today I buy 88000GTS and board for same price as I buy 9800XT for long ago, seem to be more fast.

Thanks again.
