What would cause this?

 

[KoolDrew]

If it is not overclocked it may be damaged. Is the memory overclocked at all? Temps?

 

[UptheMiddle]

Video card overheating could cause this. If your video card has a heatsink with a fan on it, check to see if the fan is actually working.

 

[DaveSimmons]

If the video card has a hard drive (molex) power plug be sure you've attached a connector from the power supply, and make sure it isn't a connector labeled "Fan" (that's only for case fans).

it's not my card - it's my friends. do x800s have the 4pin molexes? i think it's a rosewill x800

My Sapphire X800 Pro VIVO had the same problem. Wasn't heat-related in my case. I ended up sending it RMA to ZipZoomFly. I should have it back on Monday (if the UPS tracking info is correct).

 

[PinchyCM]

i dont think it's heat related. straight out of the box, no OCing.

Get some RMA action going on.

 

[dds14u]

yea probably bad card.

 

[Lonyo]

RAM is screwed up.
Try underclocking the RAM and see if the problem goes away.
You will have to RMA, because the RAM is bad, that's usually the sort of issue you see when overclocking the RAM too far. (Well, it's what I see when my RAM is overclocked too far).

try these

1.tell what card it is
2.check temps
3.check fan/heatsink working properly
4.try diffrent drivers
5.clean off any dust
