Is this the sign of video card going bad? Look inside the blue circles.:confused:

I only had this card in my machine for three months and this is a replacement card for the first one that blew out. It's a MSI nVidia GF 7950x2 GTS at 1 gig of RAM. It does this on all 3d games and yes I rebooted and still the same problem.

You should get an ATI card they are really great priced.;)

I think I know what the problem is. It's the temperature problem inside the case and will take care of it. Gotta run to store and buy bigger fans and no thanks to ATi cards. I have one on laptop and not happy with it.

Upate at 7 PM, That didn't help. Went to to Geek store and got one additional ram and bigger cooling fan. I vacuumed out the case and cleaned out the other fans and still didn't work. It brought the temps down but the video card? Those little squares are still there. I hate to think it's the video card or the monitor. I have a Dell 19" LCD flat panel monitor that is about 3 or 4 years old.

New Update; I went ahead and made the switch to a pair of BFG's GF 8600 GT video cards after taking out the MSI GF 7950x2. I'm gonna have to send the card back to the manufacture for the second time! Anyway back to the 8600 cars, I cannot run it in SLI mode for any games due to the mobo setup with one PCIe at 16x and the second one at 8x.:( I don't know if the second card is still useful without the SLI feature or should I take it out?:confused: BTW, the games runs fine and FPS is pretty good compared to the MSI card. ;)

I had a lot of trouble with my 7950GX2 stability wise, and EVGA replaced it with a 8800GTS-640 at no cost to me....

Upgraded that to a 9800GTX and am trying to figure a way to get a GX280 past the "war department"... I can do a step-up with EVGA and they will take my 9800GTX back all for the difference in price....

EVGA = Good

Well, I fired off an email to MSI with this screenshot and explained to them that it does it all the games. We'll see what happens.:rolleyes:
