Not been a really great weekend PC wise for me and this just tops it off.
Right need someone to confirm what I think, that my Card is knackered.
The Symptoms started earlier this evening, I tried to access a web page and the machine crashed, no blue screen, just a yellow screen with black zig zags (well kind of) all the way from top to bottom.
Anyway restarted and left my machine for a while, upon my return I found the monitor (Dell P991) to be turned off, at the time I thought I may have not set the screensaver/energy settings correctly as I had recently done a fresh install of XP, but when I moved the mouse and hit the keyboard, nothing happened.
So restarted and it loaded up again, then came more of the same errors. It runs for about 5 mins then just turns off (with the monitor) and if I am running any programs I just get a broken up graphics on the screen, which result in a crash.
BTW the Card is a Nvidia FX5600 XT and is about 2 years old.
Thanks to anybody who reads this and hope you can help.
Cheers
