    any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated
    I've gotten a 7805 in january and started getting bsods various hangs and artifacting during and outside of game play and movies

    I've tried each driver and not noticed any difference, I began to believe it to be a video memory problem so I've downloaded 2 tests video memory test v 1.7.116 and bitpro (BurnInTest) one gives me errors intermetantly the bitpro, other one vmt is not pulling anything up in the way of errors. I'll get 4-5 memory corruption errors with bitpro though

    Suggestions?

    I can take an hdmi cord and hook up to a 42 inch screen while playing a video it'll just lock up. it'll usually play for 5-10 minutes smooth as butter but after that just locks down

    This is a problem that has to be hardware am I right?

    Video memory errors, assuming there is no overclocking, is a hardware problem.
