Only 4 months after purchase as well
Picies?
Ofcoarse!

It's not noise from a poor quality camera, what your seeing is lotsa dots with crazy colours.

Second pic here is of my G15 saying that the temps are fairly low. All programs report my GPU temp around 30 degrees except speedfan which is at 0.

Hopefully www.overclockers.co.uk will take this back. I REALLY hope so! It has a 2 year warranty and I haven't overclocked it to void the warranty. Haven't taken off the label at the back that will void it. Haven't done anything to void it =)

and a few more to finish it off

Hows everybody else's graphics card doing? (trying to forget that Nvidia isn't completely failing me for the 4th time...)

Hmm, before it would actually load up the games and would look awful. Now it won't even load up any games =( Is this to be expected? Or could the problem actually be with something else?

The situation is degrading, it is just failing more. I wouldn't not expect it.

Either way, please resize the images, they are way too large. 1024x768 is about perfect.

I don't have time tonight, do you want me to remove them for the time being? or remove 1/2 of them or something?

looks like bad vram or dont laugh a bad HDMI cable.I thought my HG281 was bad (looked just like that)but ended up being a faulty HDMI cable.If your running a hdmi cable try another one,

Tried it with 3 different monitors just incase my monitor was on the fritz. That includes different cables. (tried DVI->HDMI dongle in both ports, DVI-VGA in both, 4 different DVI cables in each. VERY well tested)

also the pics are uploaded not linked from another site. How do I make an internal link thing?

Almost looks like you're running in 4-bit (16 colors).

Typically, the warranty is handled by the manufacturer and not the distributor.

What brand is your card?

It's by gainward and it's the "golden" sample edition.
I can't really send it back and it works if I run everything with 256 colours :( I need it to do work and I won't get it back before next febuary at the earliest so apparently I'm having to put up with it...
