I just bought a brand new computer, and the day I started it up there were artifacts on the screen. I figured it was the graphics card so I switched it out. No dice, same problem. I tried switching two cards in between two slots trying to find the problem. No combination deemed any results, so I figured it was my motherboard. I RMA'd my motherboard and got a brand new one, and I'm STILL getting the problem. I'm not sure what is causing this, but I'm getting very random artifacts on random images and severe artifacts in games.
Both of the graphics cards used are 9800gt. The motherboard is an Asus M4A78T-E.
Here's a picture of google images:
I tried getting a screenshot of one of my games but it would either turn out black or would print screen the windows on the desktop, like the game wasn't even there. The game I try to play, Heroes of Newerth, is absolutely unplayable.
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this?
