414004 2005-12-19 20:52:00 What are your system specs? What games are you playing?

How long have you had this card and did you buy it new?

As suggested it could be faulty video RAM, but to be on the safe side I would check all your other compopnents as well.

cheers

414007 2005-12-20 01:15:00 Try "underclocking" it, if that's possible on that card. :D That would give marginal memory more of a chance to work. Graham L (2)
414008 2005-12-20 02:18:00 Run atitool (www.techpowerup.com) and look at the clock rates and temperatures (if supported in that card model). gibler (49)
414009 2005-12-20 04:16:00 Its faulty. You should have got it sorted when it first started to occur - now theres no chance of a warranty replacement...New card time.... pctek (84)
