7300GT problem..

[goffie]

hi all;
ima newbie here and got few question for u guys

I have been using winfast 7300 GT tdh extreme since march 2007..For last 2 months it caused a lot of problems for me..At first plan i should say that it's fan s working well and i aint have any problems about temperature(46-48c idle,70c on load).I cleaned up the whole card and lowered the gpu speed 520 to 470 still got the problems..heres the fully-detailed story:

As said i started to have problems about it like 2 months ago..Games which i ve been playin for 1 year turned into garbage..Cuz graphics started to change weirdly.Pro Evolation Soccer 08 which i could play w/o any problems started to turn like this

race driver got the same issue aswell

Colors change blue-red sometimes even i play counter strike which isnt a big deal for any kinda vga..

So why could it happen?i upgraded to newest driver,my older ones etc etc..is there anything i can do? should it be about overheating of gpu?
thanks in advance
peace....

I was going to say overheating, but maybe that's not it. Have you tried updating drivers? They may have some fixes that are not in the current set. or maybe the memory is going bad.

it is playing grid an i asume at a very good fps coz its hard to play a race game thats a slideshow.......m impresed.....

try to check gpu temp and also update driver....

other than that, its time to get a new card.....even a 2600pro would increase ur performance ten fold

i got the same problem with my 6600gt before
later it died when i was playing fifa 08
i dont even know what was the problem

I'd guess heat based on the symptoms, but at your temps, it shouldn't be.
