Think my GPU is on the fritz

[kPATm]

So the last couple of weeks I have noticed that if I move the mini HDMI cable connected to my GTX 460 then I get green lines on my display just like you do when the cards ram goes bad. All it takes just a small bit of movement and the screen is back to normal. I can game on the card and using MSI After Burner I can get a pretty decent STABLE OC aswell. Now just tonight I tried to load up MSI After Burner and I get an error message

"msi afterburner failed to load rtcore64.sys driver"

I also tried to load up GPUz and I get this

"gpu z could not start driver a device attached to this system is not functioning"

I tried to reinstall the Nvidia drivers but I also get an error doing that

Help Please

How far did you overclock the 460 ?

I think about

890mhz
1950mhz

Maybe a bit lower?

You mite have pushed it over the edge, especially if you added a lot of volts. Only other choice is to try another gpu or try yours in a different pc.

If it was that it should be fine now w the OC removed??

Just restarted after installing AVG and I got a " one of your drives needs to be checked for consistency messages". It was my second hand SSD I bought a couple of weeks ago???

HHmmm. I think its looking like my SSD is on the way out. A few programs I try to run are giving me errors, but a few are not??.
