I have recently been getting 2 green flash blobs on my screen when using my Sapphire, ive updated the drivers but it hasnt helped.

The blobs tend to appear when use wmp or media player classic.

They dont seem to appear when playing games, although sometimes when trying to play TF2 for example, it will get to the menu screen then the monitor will start flash on and off as if the resolution is too high. But if i restart my computer then load it up again it is fine :confused:

I opened the card up to find the end of the heatsink closest to the fan was completely blocked, so i have unblocked it, but still that has not help.

Does it sound like my card is its way out? Might it help put some new gel on the heatsink? Saying that it doesnt seem to be overheating so im a bit confused as to whats going on.

Could it be software related?

Cheers
