Gfx Issue??

Hi guys just wondering what u lot think could cause this, its only happened once,that i know of, and after the card warmed up it seemed to go away.

The red dots where from bios boot up screen all the way into windows, the computer was useable but ofcourse those red dots where annoying to say the least.

I did call OCuk up to see what they said and they said rma it right away, and well i did, and just been told its passed the rma no issues at all, so a big fat waste of £30 in total from me sending and getting it back from them.

This pic was also posted in the customer support forum but looked like no one was intereseted *sigh*

So as im now getting this card back, just wanted your opinions, on if u think its likely to be a ticking time bomb and more costs in the future or if its just a one off thing. Drivers used at the time the pic where taken where cat 10.5, rest of system in spec.

Have you tested the PC unit on another Screen and cable?

Try also running the CPU at stock and test it's not the overclock.

Uninstall drivers, use DriverSweeper to clean then reinstall.

I'll try those suggestions tomorrow when its returned to me, only other screen i can use is my Tv via hdmi, and only other cable is hdmi one, good thing monitor has hdmi connection lol.

Its a weird one, as its only happened one time, and OCuk said when i rang sounds like a memory issue if its doing in in post screen too, hence why i rma'd as they suggested, but every last test they did it did'nt show up.

But i'll deffinatly keep an eye on it, and do as u suggested huddy if/when it happens again.
