Lately when i play C.O.D mw2 after while i get red screen with blue-greenish dots and nothing works then. I cant go back desktop with crtl + alt + esc, to check what could possiable be wrong.
I have to force shutdown the whole pc and restart to get back to normal.
cant play the game more than 10-15 min before this happens.

Is something wrong with my video card maybe ? its nvidia xfx 260 gtx...
is there a software to check gpu health ?
 
Sounds like a dieing GPU. PSU issues normally don't completely kill the card (it is possible though), instead you will get a bunch of image distortion (if the card is not getting enough power). Simply booting to or locking up with a solid colored screen in my experience is the GPU.
 
do you have a warranty for it? if you do...i would call tech support and see about a rma

do you have another computer you could try it in? that would be the best thing you could do to troubleshoot the card.
 
actually it was a used card i bought from a guy i will have to ask him for the papers...:mad: ..so the problem is definitally the gpu like i thought :mad: ...nvidia has 5 yrs warranty or something right ?
its hard to proof such things on paper thou, so i hope they accept it ...

I got two pci-e cables from the PSU to the GPU, so that should enough power from a 850w corsair.
