Hi, i got a geforce 6800 256mb video card with a dell flat screen 17 inch connvected via DVI port. It was wroking fine for the last couple of months till now, i notice that after i leave my computer on for a while...it starts to display weird screens. i also noticed that when these weird screens come up, that when i press the power button, it acts like i went to start - shutdown.... i don't think its the montior...i'm thinking the video card...
We use the computer for gaming alot for the kids, like playing nfs - Most wanted and counter strike..lol.... i have been monitoring the temperatures and the ambient temp is around 40 c..a dn the gpu core is around 60 c...sometimes i see the temperature bar in the yellow (mid level)... i don't notice any heating issues with this computer (Dimension 5100)... and i noticed theres only one fan, that breathes air inside from the front..and it seems to be working as when under load it rev's up.
i'm have forceware version 91.31 version installed (i upgraded from an old 7x.xx version) and if it helps i have cleartype on. and when the weird picture does come up, after i turn off computer and restart it works again... below is 2 pictures of what happens, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks for reading this long pooost!
