Basically I posted here a week ago , about it might be overheating, I dont think thats the case anymore, its doing that white lines every inch or so on the damn monitor, average temp around 60c when playing

I`ve cleaned it out, my whole comp, it`s never done this till a couple of days ago, even when restarting my computer or having the comp off all day, it`ll be fine for like a minute then boom, back to those stupid annoying unplayable lines

someone have an idea of why this is?
I turned off my overclocks, didnt work, turned down everything else as well..
 
Uninstall your current nvidia drivers and clean it up using Driver Cleanup Pro from Guru3d.com and then restart..then install the latest drivers....your problem should be solved.

If that doesn't work, then maybe something wrong with your monitor cable?!
 
thats not the reason i dont think

I uninstalled and reinstalled
had new drivers in the first place

some reason on all video apps its doing this

counter-strike source, dod, doom3, cod4 etc..

i dont know why either
 
um, card going bad?

Check and clean the fan, and maybe try underclocking it to see if the problem goes away. If you do need to replace it, faster cards are available for $50 or less.
 
So in other words you're saying that their are glitches coming up on your screen on some games you play?? If so.....I had a similar experience with my 7500 overclocked....glitches and garbled rubbis comes up on the screen when I play OpenGL based games.....and then I uninstalled the drivers and installed the latest and the problem went away!
 
Same thing happened with my 6600GTs back when I had them. I had to use Nibitor to mod the clock speeds back down to factory and the problem went away. Problem occurred with as little as a 20 MHz oc on the core.
 
Back when I had a 6600GT, I used to see that when I tried to overclock it a little and it got too hot.
 
That happened with my old 9800pro. The fan was clogged with dust and it was overheating.

Then again, it happened in Linux because of bad drivers... take your pick.
