I have an 8800GT and I'm using Windows XP sp3. When I boot up my computer there are green dots and lines all over the screen in a pattern like formation on the boot screen while windows is loading. As windows tries to load the 8800's fan turns to 100% by itself and then the screen goes black and nothing happens. I then restart the computer and get the error message that windows was not shut down properly, but all of the text is distorted and hard to read. The only way I can boot my computer is in safe mode, otherwise it just goes to the black screen.
I just wanted confirmation that it is in fact my graphics card that is messed up before I order a new card. Thanks
