Artifacts on GF2

[dreamtfk]

Starting to get serious artifacts on screen and lots of bright colors. I set all my specs on the card back to factory settings and Im still getting the artifacts within about 5 minutes of playing. Did I permanently screw up my card, any ideas? plz post thx

did you get as2 in the ram chips?
try reinstalling your video drivers and see if that helps.

I was wondering about the AS on the ram too. But wouldn't that kill the card?

You should take it out and make sure everything is good. If the heatsink is on there loose then that is probably the problem.

I did use AS2 to attatch the Heatsinks as far as the fan goes i have a crystal orb on there now. It might be loose havent checked yet.

I made all the mods to my video card well over month ago maybe even 2 months ago. Its weird that it starts acting up all of a sudden.

did you use straight as2 or a mix of the epoxy and the thermal compund?
because if you used a mix it *COULD* effect it over time, the as2 could have heated up and seeped into the ram pins. but thats most likeley not the case.
just reinstall your drivers and stuff, if that fails reinstall windows, if that fails try the card in another system

It definately isnt the drivers my whole system started locking and showing artifacts all over my desktop. I went and got a GF4 mx440 for now from Best Buy. Got 14 days until I have to return it so by then there should be more online merchants with the Ti4400
