Glitching problems

Forum Graphics & Displays : Graphics Cards Glitching problems

My pc has gone bezerk and I'm trying to figure out whats going on. Any advice on how to isolate the problem is greatly appreciated as I'm not sure how to proceed.

After about 10 mins to an hour of having the computer on the graphics on the screen go mental, some glitches / flashing and sometimes it seems the computer freezes, other times it seems like it's just the graphics. If I reboot, sometimes it reboots normally, other times the glitches and problems remain even in the startup screens and bios.

Everything seems seated normally, cpu temp is fine, nothing on fire etc. I don't have any parts to try to test the gpu or any other device.

Any ideas? My first thought is graphics card is dieing, beyond that I'm lost.

windows XP
benq g2411hd
core duo e6750
2gb kingston ram
MB: GA-p35-DS3
gpu: inno3d 8800 gts
psu: antec earthwatts 500w

Thanks!

A lot of 8800s have been dieing lately... that is probably the problem. But it could be overheating... have you cleaned out the dust from it?

Hi,

Yeah I just cleaned out the fan with compressed air. See how it goes. Computer is also freezing with audio stuttering now, could a gpu also cause these problems or does it point to possibly the mb or psu?

Sounds like GPU issue, can you test a different GPU if you have access to one!
