Guys, see these screenshots.
My GC lately have been giving me this problem. Play a game or video will become like this. I thought that it overheated, but the temperature reading is roughly 63. I have checked the connections as well, they are all fine. I have tested both DVI and VGA output, still same. reinstalled drivers, helped a bit, but I really cannot guarantee.

Would like to send u a condolence....ur gc jz died most probably is the ram on ur gc tat causes that to happen. if still under warranty send to warranty

it's time to get a new GC lol

Your GC is died. Time to change to a new one, or if it's still under warranty, just return it back to the shop.

To make sure that GC.. u can borrow ur fren's GC la..juz wanna confirm that occur cause GC

But sometimes its ok. Just now its ok, managed to play a game and watch a video without any problems.

hmmm..try ur friends gc...if its ok,it means ur gc jam...huhuh...but if ur freinds turned out to be like urs..probably the cable or the lcd..

so it must be zombie then
anyway sooner or later it will completely died.i advise u to change your card fast before effect other hardware (maybe )

wow that is crazy .... mind shwing us ur graphic card?

huhu~ kesian..... i guess good excuse to buy 4850/4870? hahahaha!

i guess it only happen when ur gc is on 100% load.
maybe its too hot than the artifact show up.

Are you overclocking your gc? if yes, set back to default clock speed and test it again.

Check the gc fan function or not also.....

Another method to confirm ur gc condition is put it into another computer and test it. if problem exist again, either send to warranty or throw it.....

have u try to benchmark by using software 3Dmark. maybe it can show any failure if ur GC is spoil

Could be motherboard pci express slot also.

i had the same problem also..after i do this it's back to normal...take out your gc and clean it all...especially the connector..

mostly i think also the graphic card problem.used a rubber to clean the pci-e[ connector area] if cannot i think you need to send it to rma aready

My chipset is the nForce4 SLi Intel Edition, which does not support ATi Cards.

You can give it a try. I do not have an ATi card in hand, so I cant confirm, yet.

emmm... why my ATI X800XL can be used in my computer right now... matched with nForce 570 SLI.....

Your's is nForce 500-series ma. Mine is the dinosaur. Where can compare.
