hello everyone
i was wondering if anyone could help me solve a rather strange problem. I have a BFG GTX 285 ocfu in my dell system. last night it was quite hot in my room (if that helps) and i was editing a map last night in the far cry 2 map editor. after a few hours of feverishly working away on my latest creation, the whole editor just stopped responding. i should also mention that this never happens. so i thought no big deal, what of it.
but then shock and horror, all these little dots started appearing on my screen. there was no pattern to them, and no colour. they were kind of every colour at once. and after i killed the fc2 editor process, they were still there. and if i moved the task manager window over them they would dissapear. but then as i did more things they would reappear randomly again. after a few minutes i restarted and used GPU-Z to check the temps under load.
so far its pretty much: GPU temp reported by driver 85 degrees, GPU temp reported by sensor, board temp reported by sensor 70 degrees.
so i was wondering if anyone could help me identify what could be happening here. my old 8800gtx failed not so long ago and i would be so upset if i lost this card too. how worried should i be, whats actually going on here? thankyou everyone for any help you can give me
