Basically i dont know if this is exactly a video card problem but im assuming it is.

This happens completely random and i can not force the problem to occur.
This problem only ever happened when playing World of Warcraft.

My screens(2 LCDs) start flickering with white lines all over it. Pics to help describe it better: (Cell phone pics)

Video Card: Geforce 8600GT
This problem has never happened when not in WoW, however WoW is the only game i have/play. When i alt tab out of wow the flickering is still present. When i restart my computer it is gone, however if i go into WoW again it will start the moment i move my character.
When this just happened i checked my video cards Temp with nTune and it was at 49C-50C. This seems like it would be a normal temp.

I upgraded to the latest drivers the first time this happened.

So i dont know what to exactly do, i cant return the card and would rather not have to deal with buying a new one.

Any help is appreciated.

It does sound like your card is on the way out.

But, just check your cables are plugged in properly.
Could try uninstalling/reinstalling the card.

Try different vga/dvi cables

On the whole - there is a good chance though that the card is buggered.

Looks to me like the video card is overheating. Can you verify the fan is still functioning?

Edit: Are you overclocking the video Card?

Try underclocking it just a bit, especially the memory. Might buy you a few more months.

Card is overheating or has bad memory. Make sure its getting proper cooling and if that doesnt help, RMA
