WHen I ran the card at the default clock speeds it came at, my games kept crashing with that damn checkerboard thing... But I overclocked my card *AGGRESSIVELY* and I haven't gotten any checkerboards for months.... To confirm my suspicions I set it back to default speed... and what do you know the next day checkerboards started again.... Perhaps a low temperature causes the card to crash?

If this is true, I'll NEVER have to worry about my system crashing :)

Have to give a big no no to this theory



same card:

crashes at default speeds with checkerboard

crashes at super high speeds
crashes at middle speeds
crashes RANDOMLY at any speed
