Damaged video card?

Name: Ricardo 2006-07-09 15:46

Yo people.

Recently I got a new video card (NVIDIA), and it works fine and stable, I can play games and such fine. There is a problem though; sometimes during video playback, I get strange red and blue colours appearing over the image. I took a screenshot of it happening:

Usually I use Linux with NVIDIA's official linux drivers. I've tested it, and found that this problem also happens in Windows 2000, and in Linux with the open-source "nv" driver.

I think it's a hardware problem, but I want to know what you guys think first. Is it a hardware problem, or could it be that some BIOS setting isn't correct or such?

I've only had the card a couple of weeks, so the place I bought it from will probably replace it.

Buy an extra fan.  For some reason it will work because fans are magic.
