My 5 day old radeon le just went crazy.
I started seeing some weird corruption around the mouse pointer in win2000 so i thought that i would reboot to clear it up. Then at the win200 startup screen there are blue dotted lines running up and down the screen, once the windows desktop loads it looks like some chopped up the screen into squares and rearraned some of them and filled the others in with garbage.
I have already sent the card back to newegg but does this happen often with radeons? the card was overclocked to 189/189 with no problems and i hadn't tried going any higher.
I kinda scared to replace the card with another radeon if this is likely to happen again, hell i'll pay the extry cash and get a geforce two if it also gives me more piece of mind.

Mine's fine. It may have just been that it was a defective card. The good thing is, they can't tell that you overclocked it (I don't think), so you'll get a new one.
