I think some condenser on your video card broke. Let a master-hand watch on your video card. He'll tell u fast if condenser broken.

What u lookin' at, bra ? I'm back !

if there is a hardware problem and some parts are damaged, the problems would not vanish after rebooting. Tongue actually i only could think of a cooling issue -check if the card is cooled properly.

i think its a software problem, tho i cant say any more, cos i dunno what programs you have installed, that access or tweak your driver or other necessary system files.

just cos of the fact, that this happened to you, you cant generalise it. he didnt write, that the problems appeared during booting. Tongue
