Graphics Card Issue?

I recently bought a new power supply (and hdd + cpu but that seems irrelevant) for my box as my old one was on it's way out constantly rebooting itself and such. A few days after I put in the new PSU which seems to be working fine I started having this issue where my screen suddenly has areas that are.. pixelated?

It is hard to describe but it is number of green pixels on the screen that kind of flicker almost like noise. It looks somewhat like when you load safe mode and it tries to display fancy images with 16 color mode. I've noticed it happens most on greens and somewhat blue areas. For example in tiger woods 2006 the grass and sky both display this behavior whereas in doom 3 it is almost unnoticable.

Does anyone have any idea what this might be? It doesn't seem like a power supply thing so I wasn't sure if it sounded like an issue with the video card, monitor (LCD) or the DVI cable. I ran down to Best Buy to try a new cable but since they want 60 bucks for a DVI Cable I decided nto to buy it without asking around first.

Thanks!

EDIT: I already tried formating and reinstalling windows to ensure it was not a driver or software issue. The problem was there even during the windows install. It is not constant and seems to come and go on a whim, regardless of the GPU being under load or just at the desktop.

if your sistem is not restarting any more and looks stable .... won`t crush or anything....try to change the video driver.....try a fresh install...

if this won`t help either ...you may have a problem with the temperatures.....maybe you have overcloked samething ...

a defective video card is also possible but first check the driver and the temperatures

good luck

That psu should be more than sufficient
Uninstall the nvidia drivers and install the latest supported drivers off the manufactures web site or Nvidia

It sounds like you're getting artifacts. Did you check the temperatures on your video card? GPU might be overheating (if fan dies for example).

The temperature on the video card is ok- 58 degrees or so, and it gets no worse under load. I have the latest BIOS from the ASRock website, do I not want that? This same video card worked OK with this motherboard in the past, although I was using an older rev of the motherboard BIOS. Maybe I should flash it down?

Hi
I got exactely the same problem with the green artefacts.
My components:
cpu: AMD x2 3800+
mem: 1 gb ram
gfc: 2x geforce 7600 GT (SLI)
psu: spire rocketeer 600w

The funny thing is that only one of my two 7600s has the problem with the green pixels, the other one is completly normal. And they only appear in 3d games (direct3d applications). Does anyone know what to do?
