Video Card Issue?

[xenon2050]

Wanted to get another opinion on this... I recently built a new PC... EVGA 780SLI, Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale, CORSAIR XMS2 DHX 4GB, MSI 8800GTS 512MB, 750Watt Silverstone PSU... It has been working fine for a month, but recently I started having some video problems.. The first was when I was playing BF 2142... The screen all of a sudden went all funky and there was three images of what I should have been seeing on the top of the monitor... Then around a week later I was playing Age of Conan and all of a sudden the monitor went purple. I thought maybe the cables were loose or something so I played around with them but the screen wouldn't come back until I restarted... Then just a couple days ago the monitor just went gray and I had to restart... This time I opened the computer up to make sure that the video card was properly seated and it seemed to be... With some of these problems I had windows pop up with a error box once I restarted saying i had a serious system error and it said it was the video card's drivers.. So I went and updated the drivers... I hadn't had a problem yet, but that was only Sunday night that I updated the drivers... Anyone else have a problem like this? I don't want to send the card back, but I do get a 1 year replacement through Newegg... Just want to be sure I've covered my bases before I send it back though.

Thanks

Ya, you've done everything you can possibly do. It could be a drivers issue, drivers can be your worst nightmare. If it keeps up I say send it back, but from initial results it might have been the drivers.

I want a video card with 512GB of RAM!!!!

Honestly, it could be any number of things. You may want to check that you also have the latest chipset drivers. Does your case have adequate cooling? And lastly, are you using a quality power supply with enough juice for the system?

Oppies... Typo.. I too would like a video card like that...

I spent a lot of money for my PSU so I should hope it is enough... Its either a 750 or 800 watt with one 60+amp rail... As far as I know that is more than enough. And from what I've seen Silverstone is pretty good for quality.

I think it has enough cooling, a 120mm in the back and the front and a 90mm on the side with a 120mm on the PSU. I'll check the chipset drivers, but I think they are the latest.
