Artifacting - Slight concern

[malicht]

Using a replacement graphics card at the moment (GTX 660) since my 7950 has been RMA'd, and I had an incident before.

I don't OC my card or anything, but when i sat down at my desk earlier the screen suddenly had loads of artifacts all over it, then it fixed itself. I updated the driver and restarted and nothing has happened since.

I'm just curious as to why it did it. Is this card on its way out too? Or can it just happen now and then?

Hard to say, do you think your PSU is killing cards?

Can you provide some pics ?

It happened so fast I couldn't get a screen shot. Tried to recreate what happened but no luck so far.

Thing is the card has worked fine for the best part of three months, because it was in and out of my machine as I tried to fix the one that got RMA'd.

NOTE: Sort that sig out... it's awful. 4 lines only mate

Or 4.5 lines like BaDBoY_uK's

Loose cable from monitor to PC? Gremlins? If it does it again, I would start to do some testing but as it has only done it the once, I wouldn't worry.

Will double check all the cables and keep an eye on it, ta folks!

Oh and sig fixed

I am curious to why using that small font caused a larger gap at the 4th line.

like it has been suggested, you should maybe check your PSU if it happens again

 

[malicht]

Will do! I shall return if anything goes weird again!
