ok so i have a GTX 580 that originally came out of an SLI setup(was the second card) that a friend picked up. the card works perfectly fine when in SLI with my GTX 580 but when it's singled out and used as the primary GPU i get some weird green line artifacting mostly over black/darker colors but does not show up on white. also i can't install the drivers since doing so just causes windows to BSOD after the first reboot as it hits the windows loading loading screen.
so just out of curiosity i let windows restart with the updated drivers again and noticed during the BSOD all the lights on the front of my case started flickering like there was some kind of short this has never happened with any other BSOD i've had.
my theory is that it's the vram but i'd expect it to have problems in SLI if it was so i'm not entirely sure. just curious if anyone else has run into this problem with the GTX 580.
well shit screenshoting it doesn't work, so i guess my only option is a cell phone picture thats hard to see, sorry. it should look like this
