I've had a few problems over the last couple of days.
The screen keeps pixellating as if the cable wasn't in properly as with the screenshots below:
This has been very intermittant and not linked to GPU heat or length of time the system has been on. I've tried another monitor to see if that helped, but it didn't. I've also reinstalled the Nvidia drivers, but this hasn't helped.
This has all coincided with the following error message that keeps popping up when I start XP.
I have also got a Vista partition which I've tried, and although it doesn't display the message, I get the same symptoms.
The card is a 6800GS and is only a couple of months old. It hasn't been overclocked, and doesn't get particularly heavy use. The GPU temps don't rise above 60 degrees even after an hour on BF2. Overall system temperature is around 40 degrees. The CPU is an XP3400 (S754) and the MB is an Asus K8NE-Deluxe.
I've taken all the cables out, reseated them. Given the PC a good clean out for dust, removed all nonessential PCI cards but this hasn't helped.
Can anyone suggest why the system thinks it has SLI capability and if this is the issue.
I'm hoping the graphics card isn't borked, as I've only recently got it.
Cheers
