If im playing a game i can still hear it working behind the colourful mess shown above, so im guessing the card is the problem. It happens after 2mins, on launching a game or after a long time playing a game so it seems quite random.. (the card doesn't appear to be overheating either)

ive slapped my old 8800gtx in the box for now and after 30mins all seems fine so ill try the same scenario's using that, can anyone recommend and programs i can run to test the GTX280 or should i pack it up and return under warranty ?

cheers
