Right-O
I'm up in arms right now. Ok so I had a 6800GT and everything was fine until one day, my screen started to show noise on it. Got a little worried. Then after like 2 minutes of lag and noise on my screen the video droped out. I rebooted and all I saw was blocks of color, UH OH. So I RMAed the poor guy and yesterday I got its replacement back, it was brand new in a retail box and all. So I installed that bad boy and it ran great for about 4-5 hours of playing COH, then I got off and checked my email, and that noise came back. S*#%!!! Then, as I expected, about 1 minute of the noise and video lag, the video droped out... again. Ok so i reboot, and no blocks of color yet, i can see the bios screen and the windows loading screen, but then as the log in screen came up, blocks of color. I reboot again, Same, then again, the same deal once more and it came up, loged in and then a window poped up "Windows has recovered a serious error" I looked at the details regarding the error and it was the video card drivers. Then after about a minute of the it running, the noise came back and droped out once again and blocks of color again on reboot. The system starts up fine in safe mode.
Any insite on how to fix this would be great.
I have the latest drivers for my chipset on my mobo which is a Gigabyte GA-7S748-L SiS chipset. Also I was running the nVidia driver that shipped with the card, not sure which version that is. Windows XP Pro SP1 and my system is in the sig. The card is not currently overclocked.
Thanks
