So while playing some minecraft last night, my game froze up and my computer froze in an odd way. I rebooted to see some lovely red dots and lines all over the POST screen.
Crap.
So I try re-seating my video card, it works for about 20 minutes, and locks up again. Reboot again to more red dots and lines.
Double crap.
So I yank the thing out, and I'm heading to the store later today. I have an nForce 680i SLI motherboard, but I don't use SLI. Q6600 (quad core) cpu. Currently running 4gb of ram, but thinking of going up to 8.
My (now fried) video card is an nvidia 8800gt.
A friend recommends the 470gtx, thoughts?
Thanks in advance
