PC Specs:
Intel C2D E6320 oc'd too 2.66 ghz
2 gigs of Kingston ram running in duel channel at 800 mhz
2x 320 western digital harddrives
p5n32-e sli plus mobo
7600gt pcie video card
Vista 32bit
So about 3 weeks ago I noticed my video card fan was making some funky ass noises. I thought it was just regular dust build up so I did some spring cleaning on my pc and took a can of condensed air and thoroughly cleaned out the case. But the abnormal noise from my gpu fan was still happening so i took out the card and blew it out. Problem solved no more crazy noises.
Now about a week ago any game I have been playing started too get some pretty bad artifacts so i took out my graphics card once again but this time i cleaned off all the old thermal paste and re-applied some arctic silver and things were working fine once again. Now this morning i wake up go too boot up my pc and all i see on my screen is a bunch of colors and crazy lines so i thought maybe i fucked up the thermal paste so i took the card out cleaned it off and applied thermal paste once again.Now my pc booted without seeing a bunch of crazy shit. Download newest video card drivers and restart my pc.
So i start up WoW too go farm some honor on my 68 rogue because S4 starts in 2 weeks and there is no point leveling too 70 ATM (oh noes WoW). So I am chilling in Org talking too Marlboroman and some of my friends I went too high school with and I am getting some ridiculous artifacting and my fps is going from 100fps too 5fps. Check my gpu temp and its at 92 degrees celcius! So i close the game down go into nVidia control panel, underclock my card and force the fan too run at 105% speed open up my case and turn all my case fans too run on high. I load the game back up and im getting about 90 degrees after about 5-10 mins and then bam my pc BSOD.
So ya im pretty sure my video card is fucking toast
