Crisp Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Did you manage to fix this in the end? Also, are you runninf latest drivers? I find if you let Windows assigne the drivers they usally suck. If it's showing signs of problems on screen, then it sounds like it's become faulty.

Detection Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I would reinstall the drivers and see how you get on before writing off the card Also look in event logs to see what actually went wrong at the time of the crash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
