Help! I think my card is artifacting!

[Rozal]

Never had any problems at all with my card artifacting.

Today I restart my computer and boom, artifacts from the get go. Bios, windows loading, desktop, everywhere.
I tried restarting again and again, removing Gcard and cleaning the fan area. Replacing, putting cables in and out.
Still artifacts.
I even waited 5 minutes and opened my case to keep it from getting warm.
No dice :(
Finally I tried re-installing my drivers. Didn't work.


PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!

Looks like its shot. If you can try the card in another computer (maybe a friends' then you would know for sure.

What in the world?

I took my ram out and put it back in and everything worked fine.

Thats some creepy stuff if its the ram...Did you run memtest for any errors to see if the ram is in OK shape?

3 days later....I restart again, it happends again.
I did everything I could possibly think of, except remove the CPU. Nothing works. This is very weird.

OK WTF!!!! I decided to do the one thing I had not done....Back in the day when I went caseless, I would accidently nitch my video card and I would lose video, i fixed it by wiggling in while in the agp slot and video came on.

Well what i did is I took it out and put it back in so it is barely in the agp slot
I did this till it was about 90% in and at 90% it worked =/
