So I was playing FSX last night, which crashed (but thats another story = P) so I decided to watch an HD copy of Star Wars. Shut off my PC and went to bed.
Go to turn it on this morning, locks on booting windows.. orange main monitor, solid white secondary. Restarted --> Rainbow pixels both screens. Booted into safe mode and checked for a driver update, downloaded, installed, and restarted. Seems to work.
Play FSX; crashes to desktop after 2 hrs... fine, just used web/email/music before work. Put my PC to sleep for work, came back to wake it... Rainbow pixels. Restart.... Rainbow pixels both screens.... safe mode.... force clean nvidia driver install.... works so far but haven't done anything strenuous.
Not many things cause that kind of graphical corruption; I'm hoping my GPU isn't dying.... I had hoped it would last me till the 7xxx / 6xx days. Going to try some stress tests atm... just wondering if anyone had some 2nd opinions?
