for a few months now, my evga gtx 260 has been acting up. whenever i played WoW, the graphics would corrupt and turn all sorts of funky colors/graphics. i figured out that if i alt-tabbed out of the game and went back into it, the colors would return to normal. however, this was only a temporary solution, because it would go back to the weird graphics in a few minutes. fast forward to sc2, and it does the same thing! weirdly, its only affecting blizzard games. i have street fighter 4, cod4, splinter cell, and multiple other games, and they are all just fine and can run for hours and no graphical errors will happen.
i have reinstalled xp with the latest nvidia drivers, and still the problems happen. my temps are around 61C (just closed out of sc2 now because i couldnt take the damn graphics problem), and i have a pretty sufficient amount of airflow in my case (6+ fans, exhaust and intake).
what should i do about it? rma? wait and see? any help would be great!
PS - desktop has a core 2 quad q9450 2.66ghz @ 3.4ghz (been this way for 2 years now), asus p5q deluxe mobo, 2x2GB ddr2-1000 ram, multiple sata hard drives, enermax 500W psu, and an evga geforce gtx 260 896MB.
