I've had the 128 mb 9800 pro (rosewill made) for about two weeks now, and 2 days ago, I was dusting my computer, and when I went to turn it back on, the boot up screen had artifacts, and I discovered that all of my games have artifacts now too. I took the card out of the case , dusted the case again, and then dusted the card. I can't get the card back to normal! The artifacts aren't gonig away! Is there a way I can fix this?

Are you using the latest ATI drivers? Overclocking?

Just for the people that dont no what are artifacts.

artifacts are random little items on your screen...sort of like static but more localized.

I'm using the latest ATI catylyst drivers and I am not overclocking the card. The email I got from Rosewill tech supprot said to remove the drivers in safe mode. That didn't do a thing THis is dissapointing because I have already had to replace the card once before.

Hi,

You could try drivercleaner to completely remove any rements of drivers for the card and then reinstall them, I doubt it will work but worth a shot.

sounds like a bad card

Nope Second RMA for this card *sigh* Maybe I can convince newegg.com to replace the cadr with a different brand? (powercolor, pny, etc)
