Screen Savers Depot - is my 8800 gtx dying?

is my 8800 gtx dying?

I have an inno3d brand of nvidia's 8800gtx. I have been using it for three months. one time i was playing just like a normal day when suddenly, the game's graphics started to morph and the computer slowed down and it hanged. After that, I have problems running 3d programs (even screensavers like 3d flower box from windows). I tried reinstalling old and new drivers and at first, everytime i reinstall a driver, it will work for a couple of hours then the graphics will start to morph again. now, even if i reinstall the drivers, i'll be lucky if i play for 30mins without encountering the problem. also, when windows xp starts up, sometimes i see blue broken lines on the monitor scattered all over. and when that happens, the blue screen of death appears and the computer will restart automatically.

Seems like it had a heart attack... Yes it seems the card had a bad case of overheating once and this caused some damage, it is dying....
one way of fixing that problem is to reinstall the driver or download the latest driver try downloading the compatible driver from here http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp and resinstall the new driver that you just downloaded check if your graphics card is now working thanks and God Bless
1st off, make sure the fan on your card is spinning. 2nd thing to do is use a program like driver cleaner to remove all the installs of the old drivers. Thirdly, get the latest driver and install that one. You should be able to see the temperature your card is running at through that software. I'd hope to see you are below 70C, although many cards have ran much hotter for long periods of time and have not had a problem. And finally if you are still having problems, see if you can RMA the card to inno3d. I've never heard of this brand and I have no idea what thier repair policy is.
