New computer - 8400GS artifacting.

[ATIorNvidia]

Hi, just recieved a new computer with a 8400gs in it, but whenever i start a game or anything i get serious artifacting, is it a driver issue or is there something wrong with my card?

GPUZ reads 49 C when idle and around 55 on load.

looks like a card issue, sounds a bit liek the heatsink is on too tight.

Although, Charlie does have the odd Nvidia issue or two.

Correction - my temps are actually about 60 C on load.

Well, I'm sitting here on a laptop with an 8600M GT and really chuffed that Nvidia have designed something that will break in a few months. Thanks guys.
