Powercolor X800XT Problem

[cornelio]

Hi,

I have a Powercolor X800XT AGP video card, the problem is that it has texture corruption on all games, on everything else, the picture appears in different colors, this just happened from just a week ago. I tried changing every possible BIOS setting, with no luck and sometimes the problem dissapears, but sometimes when I am playing a game the problem appears again. Sometimes when I start the computer the screen looks a little hard to read.

I have an Asrock K7S8XE motherboard, 2X1024 corsair memory and an Athlon XP 3000+ and I have the card connected to an LCD monitor with the standard VGA port, I have tried the DVI port, but I have this problem with it also. I have a regular monitor that I can test the card with, but I haven't done it yet, any info that can help me solve this problem before I RMA the card is greatly appreciated,

Thanks.

What are the temps on that card? It could be overheating.

The idle temp is between 40-45C

I opened my computer and took out the card, put it again and so far the problem seems to be gone (I hope). I played with all the details maxed out and the temp for both the video card and cpu was up to 60C, everything went normal.


Thanks for the reply.
