Diagnosis - Graphics problem?

[Morthoseth]

Afternoon people, been having a problem with my graphics card recently - some serious problems ;P

Best way to describe it is a picture

Also get random coloured dots all over the screen outside of games, big white lines through random parts also, multicoloured letters when booting up and so on and so forth.

I've actually ordered an 8800GTS today anyway, i'm just hoping its not a possible motherboard problem?

Anyone experienced similar? Or can help?

Whats the problem, looks fine to me?
Most definately a graphics card problem, have seen many similar things before!

Absolutely, it's perfectly playable like that, i know.. i was just curious - haha!

Good to know that its the problem, gives me an excuse to swap the 7900gt with 8800gts 640mb too, should see an ok increase in performance? ;p

tried changing drivers ? changing the graphics settings, does it only do it in WoW ?

As i was saying it happenes even when booting the computer up, and on desktop and whatever else - not just WoW

Driver wise, i've updated them two times since i got Vista (Maybe its x64 Vista that screws with everything, it's cursed!) and its happened since then, and it used to happen before vista a little but not to this extent - its got worse over the last month or so.

Ahah, this thing is common?

Its probably too late to RMA it now though, no lifetime warranty like you get with BFG
