Video Card Problem?

[Cyro]

Hi,
I am running the PNY geforce 4 Ti 4600 in an Abit KR7-133A. Every once and a while windows will get all these little purple dots every where and crash shortly there after. Upon reboot the pretest/bios screen has flashing cursors everywhere. I am assuming this is bad video ram but since im haveing trouble with PNY's rma I figured I would ask just to make sure.

try 3dmark 2001
if it flakes out, or you encounter any more problems, either:
1. return to stock speeds, if overclocked
2. improve case ventilation around videocard (or just take side of case off, that should give it enough "fresh air".
3. check to see heatsink fan is still spinning
4. last but not least, rma it i guess

1. Wasnt over clocked
2. Side has been off since it happened the first time, didnt help
3. Fan is working fine and the card doesnt feel as if it is over heating
4. Guess I just have to fight to get a new one.

Thanks for the help
