guys does this look like a GFX card problem? the problem is intermittent and when it does happen a reboot solves it.

also it only happens on cod2, fear, css, bf2.
Other games like pes5, cod, mohaa, far cry, doom3 play fine.

the gfx cards a sapphire x800xt had it just over 12 months!

cheers

forgot to mention it does more often if i minimize bf2, css etc and drop to the desktop.
 
Yes - have you overclocked because it looks like the core is understrain? if you have overclocked clock it down a bit, if you havent overclocked then you should see if an RMA is possible.
 
What temps does it run at? Cards rarely just break but I suppose it can happen, doesnt sound like good news unfortunately mate.
