GTS 250 problems

    About 5 months ago, I bought a Twintech GTS 250 OC. It started to give problems. If I played NFS SHIFT or even was in My Computer, the PC and the screen would freeze. The speakers would also make a one-toned sound. Even at some times the screen would change some pixels to random colours.

    As it still had warranty, I took it back. After a few days they gave me a new GPU but did not say why. After fitting the new GPU and installing two diffrent driver versions, it gave the same problem.

    What's wrong, how can I fix it?
    The problem continues with LCD or CRT

    PC specs:

    AMD ATHLON X2 7750 @ 2.7 GHz
    M3n78 VM
    470watt Coolermaster PSU
    500Gb HDD
    2x1Gb Trancend 800MHz DDR2 +
    2X512MHz Corsair XMS2 667MHz DDR2

    Could be faulty Ram
    You could just return it under warranty again.
    Ideally install Windows clean to prove that its a hardware warranty issue
