Wtf?!?

ok... this is wierd, every now and again when i restart the computer, i get these artifacts all over the screen, i dont have any problems with system performance, the system never shuts down, so this problem is not affecting anything, its just wierd, seems like i got some faulty hardware? or maybe its faulty southbridge fan?

i managed to get a shot of it on boot menu, anywere else and i missed it, but on the main boot screen with all diagnostic of stuff, the artifacts are not the same, they are like white blocks all over screen, looks like space invaders :p

any ideas why i get this wierd artifacts all over my screen, i would have thought maybve its somthing to do with memory on graphics card, or maybe southbridge on the mobo???

I would suspect that the RAM on your video card is getting too hot.

umm, coz when i reset the computer again, the lines go away.

Hmm...it only happens when you start/restart your system, correct? Not in games?

Yes, when i restart and start the system, and i think sometimes when i turn it on this can happen, all i have to do is restart the system again and it goes away, i dont have any problems in game, exept once i was playing GTA SA, the res was set to 1280x1024 16-bit, and i could see like purple kind of squares, and i am sure i got a very vaint simaler patern when i am in lots of smoke to that one in the screenshot on my first thread :s
