Hey, I have an EVGA 6800gt pci-e video card, under windows xp media center 2005, and have had no problems for the last year or so. Within the past week I noticed that about 5 minutes into any game that I play I get a ton of artifacts on the screen making it impossible to play. Right now i have the 81.98 drivers installed and have tried 91.31 and 91.33 beta but they both still produce the artifacts. According to the video control panel my card is idleing at 82 degrees celcius I belive. It is set right now at defaults which it says the threshold is 135C. However, 82C does seem extremely hot just to be idleing. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might fix this? I was looking on the evga website for a number to call but all they have is email which is never any help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
