Inno3d 6600GT AGP

Hi, I have been using my inno3d Geforce6600GT AGP 128mb for 13months now, and last few weeks ago, I get few hiccups from this. Playing games for more than 1 hour will give my monitor a BLACK OUT. I ignored this? and continue for 3 weeks, and the everything died one day. The Monitor Out socket just died. The monitor does receive signal, but the signal is just BLACK screen. Hoping it was a monitor issue, I tried switching to my old 15? viewsonic monitor, and the same result? BLACK OUTPUT ALL THE WAY.



I thought it might be the monitor out digital to analog converter, and so I used the bundled DVI to monitor adapter and plugged in to the DVI slot? everything is great now.



After a couple of weeks? I get distorted pictures. Using the PC for more than 15mins will give me DIZZY pictures, something like a static effect on the picture? the extreme left of the picture is twitching really bad. Like 1.5inch from the monitor?s left margin. After using for 1hour, it hit 2inches from the monitor left margin? twitching really fast and it is intolerable. I think the DVI is also dying.



Any ideas on how to fix this? Is this a hardware issue? Or are there any firmware or bios update to fix this? Your response will be greatly appreciated.


PS: sorry, i posted this on the "video" section. Wrong section.
 
take out the card and look for visible damage. try cleaning the heatsink and so forth. then use a can of air to clean the AGP slot and try to resea the card. try again. if this doesn't work, it's RMA time cause the card is obviously hosed.

hi, i did what u advice me. Cleaned the fan/heatsink... air clean the agp slot... no effect. I even tried to replace the thermal grease. My card's running around 45C idle to 70C max load... is that hot for 6600GT?
