[6214]Is the double screen killing the GPU?

Hello,

Some time ago, i've sent my zepto to be fixed because of the gpu, the've fixed it (but it took way too much time). I'm using a second screen (samsung 226bw 1680*1050) in nvida nview mode, no gaming just surfing with a bigger screen, i play games on the smaller screen. But now i've got some serious artifacts in my games... The computer isn't overheating or something the gpu seems to be dying again. Am i doing something wrong? I suspect the first failure came frome the same place.

 

I use a second screen (24") every day and I don't think that would be the cause of your problem. I had some artifacts about a year ago, but I don't remember exactly what fixed it. I probably made a fresh OS installation and picked another driver for the 7600 go.

 

I will run some tests to see exactly in which games i get artifacts (in wow i get them, then 10 sec later they disappear...).
By the way, which version of nvidia drivers do you use?

Ok, got a DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL a while ago, will try to change the drivers...

This is what i get in wow...

 

You dont get any artifacts in windows?

Try
Updating your drivers
Updating your chipset driver
Getting the latest DirectX runtime (search microsoft download)
Reinstalling WoW

 

I had them in wow as well. Looked just like yours. I'm using 174.31 right now (on vista x64). I don't play wow anymore so I don't know if I would still get artefacts there, but I haven't seen it in any other games for about a year.

Try sprints advices and I'm sure it will work out

 

Ok, the gpu is definetly dead, got a big freeze and a HUGE graphic corruption anywhere with windows which cannot boot anymore. Have sent it (again) to zepto Denmark...
