Spec

750w corsair psu
leadtek 9800 gx2
abit ix38 quad gt
q6600
ocz 4gb reaper 1066 mhz running at 666mhz
vista 64

Right basically I have upgraded my motherboard and ram, now when i have played games for about 15 -20 mins, sometimes I get lots and lost of like fuzzyness on the screen so bad that i can hardly see it and it only goes when i restart my pc.

Other times the game will jerk go corrupted graphics but minimizing it and re opening it fixes that and it goes to normal again.

sometimes i can play a game with out any problems but most of the time there are probs, also I have had a few display driver has stopped working and has recovered and also BSOD pointing to nvidia driver.

I tried everything , reinstalling driver, changing settings,

Is my graphics card faulty, its only 1 month old.?? Dont want to RMA it coz i will get charged if not found faulty.

Thanks

go ahead and rma that sucker, don't know whatelse could be the problem. corsair psu are usually high quality, and if you say temps are fine it must be the card itself

Corsair TXs aren't that great, but the HX series Are top of the Food chain. But I doubt its the PSU, it might be a faulty card, see if you can return it to the store if not, RMA it:)

Problem was ram,took to overclockers, upgraded my motherboard prob was still there, they tested everything except my ram.


Bought some new ram like they said and problems went, not had a single issue since. They told me it was incompatable, wish they would have told me earlier.

Many people are having this issue and think its their gpu when actually its their ram.

Oh well corsair are so much better.

Thanks people
