That's a great idea from the OP, been searching this forum for a solution!

I've ordered mine today from play.com.

Cheers

Yeah probably only a few that were faulty but I guess you end up imagining they all are when you own one to make yourself feel better lol

Thanks for the welcome .) I'm new to LFS and really enjoying it.

I think it was the 8800GT's for desktops which had issues, not sure about the mobile ones...

For me, apart from this slight fault, the card has served me fairly well, I can still play most games fairly well with it, just finished Batman Arkham Asylum recently which was great by the way!

Hi

I think quite a few 8800 GT's have a common issue with overheating and particulary overheating memory modules on the graphics card.

In certain games, my one starts showing artifacts all over the screen and then stops alltogether within 10 seconds.

The way I fixed this problem was to actually underclock the MEMORY speed from 900Mhz to 850Mhz, no more artifacts/crashing ever again!

Worth a try, might work for you too...

Regards

Oz
