I've never seen that happen though, Broni.

When my last card died it would sometimes boot fine, other times with lines all in the BIOS, everywhere, sometimes it wouldn't get corrupt till I started a game, at which point it would all go green and the computer would reset  ::)

Very true...Cruler, if I remember right, the card isn't that old, is it?

Doesn't ATi have a 1 Year warranty?

So, your next step is pretty obvious, and we wasted a lot of time, since you didn't tell us, the problem has been there from the get go.

So RMA the dang thing....and get a new one, if it is the same problem, the worst thing that can happen is it does it again.
