whats up with this, should i send this card back for another one?!? This is a wcpuid shot but the whole screen is like this:

HELP HELP HELP!!!!! A Reboot usually solves this, i did have to reboot twice this morning for it to go away though. Oh yeah, i have barely overclocked this card and am not at all right now, and it is at stock speeds in this shot

That's some serious artifacting. Try sticking the card in another computer if you have access to one and see if it does it there too. If it does, the card's probably fried.

Don't restart, power off, unplug, wait ten seconds, restart. Most likely, they'll never come back if you turn hardware acceleration off and keep it off.

If it's a loose VGA plug he should be able to grab a perfect screenshot Maxvla! A loose plug would only cause this view out to the monitor, but not on/inside the system...
