i have a major problem with my Gainward gf4 ti 4200 card.

everything looks good and so on while im in windows and other aplications, but after playing a game for quite some time the computer hangs and i get a pink/white/green chessboard on my screen.

what do u think causes this problem?

btw. the card is not overclocked and i have good case temps!

Gainwards are known for having the "PSOD" (Pink Screen Of Death). RMA ur card to Gainward...just be careful, they have been returning cards with the same faulty parts

Theres a better read about Gainward 4200s and lack of commitment to its customers
