Hi i have had a radeon 9800 for just over a year
the other day i was playing a game and the whole screen turned into a bunch of weird shapes with all different colours, i shut down the computer and restarted but now from the moment i switch it on there different coloured lines and shapes around the screen
as has been suggested in other posts i have reseated the card cleaned it and installed various driver but it doesnt work
the fan works fine on the card but the computer itself has overheated alot recently so my thought are that the card has died
im going to get a new card this week but before i do can anyone suggest anything else that might be the problem with my current one because it has worked fine for a year but has really recieved a hammering over the last couple of weeks.
thanks for the replies
