7600 GT Problem

Folks,

I bought a 7600GT (pci-e) off the forum and have hit a problem with the card.

After around 30 minutes of use in Windows, the screen blanks then returns with severe corruption. This then cycles every 5 seconds or so until I reboot.

Any idea what the problem might be? The card is only two months old and is on standard settings.

Thanks
 
Temp on bootup is 42', after 5 minutes in windows it's up to 46'

CPU is running at 45' with 2 instances of Boinc running, and the HDDs are at 36-37.

PSU is Enermax 535w. All the rails are showing as within 1% of expected readings...

Previous user had put a zalman hsf & memory hs on. I've taken these all off for now and reverted to the original hsf to see if that can help for whatever reason.
 
I have the receipt for the card, what's the chances of ocuk replacing it under warranty given that the hsf has been replaced?
