Hi guys,
Having some sort of problem with my graphics card I think. I've been playing a lot of Modern Warfare 2 recently and the other day I started getting a lot of visual artifacts and the entire PC was freezing up on me. It started it doing it more regularly today and Windows 7 was giving me a message about there being a problem with the graphics drivers.
I went onto the nVidia website and installed the latest Windows 7 drivers for my card, then tried again. This time the same thing happened except when I boot the PC up, it can't get into Windows at all, it just blue screens. Also the boot screens are all artifacty.
I tried taking it apart, unplugging the cables and plugging then back in, taking the card out and putting it back in. Checked for overheating, couldn't find any.
Any idea? Am I just going to need a new card?
