Powercolor Radeon x850 Pro

[xonic1]

Hi, I just bought a new computer from newegg. I got a Radeon x850 Pro 256mb pci express. I installed Half Life 2 / Doom 3 / Far Cry / Battlefield 2. The first 3 games ran fine but BF2 had weird black lines shooting out. So i reinstalled the drivers and all that stuff, and it still didnt work. I thought it must be a problem with BF2 and or the drivers since Half Life 2 and all my other games ran perfectly fine. But early today i turned my computer on and noticed small colored dot like things in random spots of my screen. Also when i started Half Life 2 there was this like flickering in certain areas like it was going back and forth from the desktop to the game. I thought it might be my pixels burning out or something with the monitor, but i switched to a CRT monitor and it had the same problem. I am pretty sure it is my graphics card now, its only been running for about 3 days now so it was weird that it just started doing this. Has anyone else had a similar problem? I am thinking about RMAing it, I hope it is just a software problem but i think it is the card. The fan on the card also works so i know it wasnt that. If anyone has any idea what the problem is or what it could be let me know thanks.

Slow down there. Another person had the same problem, turns out his card was overclocked when he got it, so he got ATItool and turned it back to default. Try that.
