Hello. I don't know if my graphics card is dying, but in some games I get weird texture stretches, blinking white pixels etc. I reinstaled windows and have the same. I tried many drivers, but I can't find one that would solve my problem. My GPU temperature is reported to have 48-49*C at load. It is cooled by Accelero S2[passive]. Also, in BIOS and when booting PC i have "black pixels". Few times even my screen "looped by the monitor".

I've got an E2160, Gigabyte P31-DS3L and a kinda good PSU. Can it be, that MB BIOS is freaking and can't transfer data properly between graphics card and rest of the system?

Seems like you are getting artifacts. Most likely, your GFX has died/is dying.

Don't get a card with passive cooling next time.

I don't know why, but ATITool doesn't show artifacts :P

Because isn't that just a furry box spinning?

Hmm, as for what I tested, texture stretches occur only when I apply AAx4. On x2 and off it works well. I have to test x3. AF is set to x16. What can be the cause of textures stretching on AAx4?

EDIT: %@#! I added AI and even without AA and AF it's getting weird
