Hello everyone!
I recently wrote a post about my video card (Gainward GTX 670 2gb), and i wanted to know if it is dying.
The thing is, that i reinstalled Windows today and i had no problems at first, but when i installed video card driver, then the same thing happened again.

This is what my screen looks like after installing video card driver -

+ I have these small moving dots covering my screen

And this as well:

The thing i've done trying to solve the problem:

[listNum=1]
Removed all the dust
Completely removed nvidia driver and reinstalled it. ( Tried multiple versions of driver )
Reinstalled Windows
Runned stress test ( It was running good with max of 87degrees)
[/listNum]

+ I have not received any errors or shutdowns.

Could you please tell me, what is going on with it?

You can also try underclocking it a bit (lower memory and core speeds by say 10%) and see if it works. It looks like your monitor is cracked, did you try it with a good monitor and maybe a different video cable?[/quotemsg]

Ive tried different monitors, and the same thing. I have not overclocked it and now it is as cold as ice, but still have these small dots and on videos i have also red and Black dots running around.[/quotemsg]

There is an outside chance this is a power supply or RAM issue maybe, but it's much more likely the card is bad. Best way to test it is try the card in another system.
