Hi all. First off my system: EVGA 680i SLI Mobo, 8800GTX video card, 2 GB of Crucial Ballsitics RAM, Win XP. I constantly freeze up w/ graphic glitch whenever I run any of my games. Sometimes it happens right away, then other times it can be hours. Can't remember the temps, but I do know they were well within norms. Heres the pic of the freeze: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/tuntav/0830081912.jpg

I think that looks like one messed up video card...if you can, try swapping the video card with another one (from a friend or something) just to double check...could be driver issues too but it would seem unlikely if you have the latest drivers....

See if you can't run that 8800GT in another computer. Maybe you don't have enough juice on your power supply. If you have a good power supply then try some different drivers or RMA the card. Also, try to run the card in the second PCI-E slot just in case something is wrong with the first. If that's the case RMA the board. Honsetly I think that compaq monitor just cursed you :D
