Pink screen of death

[coffee33]

I just came back to my computer and went to youtube and bam screen went a static pink real fast and black, with this message "Nvidia display driver has stopped but has restarted".

Now for some background: My first MSI 460gtx 1 gig card starting giving me this same error but just turned black with no pink. They sent me a new card almost a month later and this is what I got.

This is the first and only time this has happend, should I wait it out?

I freaking can't keep paying $15 to ship these pos to this company to have them send me back another person defect.

So mad right now.

Thank you all

If this is happening multiple times, its time to start looking at other parts of your computer that might have started to fail. What PSU do you have? It could be that its started to go bad and not supplying enough power to the GPU and causing this error.

It's the card; the first card that did the same thing -psod I took the card out and tested it in another machine.

My only worry is it a freak thing or is it the card.

The entire screen turned a static pink, and I have seen this once before after playing frisbee with a video card and putting it back in hehe. The screen with that one stayed pink though.

I am going to sell my ak47 and buy a new card from anyone but MSI thsi time. My question would be: What Nvidia card would kick the crap out of my 460gtx 1gig for under $350?


Thanks!
