I recently installed a VGA silencer 3 onto my radeon 9800 pro. I thoroughly cleaned the gpu and sink with q tips and 70% cleaning alcohol until they were completely free of dust, paste, etc. I applyed new thermal paste to the gpu and intalled the cooler. Everything seemed fine until I turned on the computer and artifacts appeared in my start up screen. I tested this problem by running battlefield 2 and to my dismay, a great deal of artifacts. I checked the cooler and card again to make sure there was a good contact between them. Everything seems fine. Is there anything I may be overlooking? I am completely in the dark on this one.
