seem to be getting some funny dots on my screen, it mostly happens on blue backgrounds (like tekforums) but it does it on some other colours too. the dots stay in the same place and spread when you scroll so i get lines then. ill try and get a screeny.
its a couple of day old geforce7600 that is standard.
here a screeny
dont know if theyll show up or its just my screen.

on my lappy now and can see the lines in that screeny, so that means it a problem with the memory side of the graphics card doesnt it?
Looks like a bad card, if its new send it back.
usually a problem with the DAC it could also be the mem, usually most card now got 2 display port so try using the other 1 and reboot ur pc.
Try new drivers and a new gfx card if poss - if no joy youve got a dodgy card, send it back.
ive started the rma process with ebuyer, hopefully goes smoothly.
its a strange problem, just had a 4hour+ session of Civilisation 4 and it was doing some minor artifcting but didnt crash at all and ran smoothly.

Sounds like the old memory issue when the heatpads are crap or not on the chips properly causing overheating and faults, or just faulty plain and simple
ebuyer picked it up on Tuesday, got the new one today.
top service :rock:
just installed the new card, when i boot up i get 1 long beep and 3 short beebs (no vga detected)
it boots into windows ok as i hear the startup music and it shuts down ok when i press the front panel button too.
ive tried re-setting the bios and re-seating the card.
any ideas?
thanks

power socket plugged into the card OK? Ive had faulty power outputs on PSUs before. They work fine until you disturb them.
the card doesnt have an extra power plug
just carried it all down to the living room to have a closer/comfier look and it posted perfect first time. :o wtf?
my office is freezing (8degrees atm) can that effect it?
maybe you joggled it about a bit moving it, so soemthing is connecting better / no longer shorting ?
this is pissing me off now! its doing it every time now!
another faulty card?
You could be very unlucky or it could be the motherboard socket, could you borrow one to test?
ive arranged for ebuyer to pick the card up tomorrow, i hope its not the motherboard! Im getting board of sending things back.
its been accepted as faulty and have been refunded,
I dont fancy getting the same card again (nvidia7600), so what is the best card around the £60-£80 mark?

*chuckle* Was going to suggest that, but the £80 price cap stopped me.

good little cards those. Just set up a crossfire rig for someone, and hes loving it.
yeah does seem great value, only £30 more than the 7600 and i can already tell its alot faster, nice quality too.
