Is my 8800GTS dying?

I've had my hardware setup for the past 3 years, and Windows 7 64-bit for the past year, without any problems. But since I moved to a new house a couple weeks ago, some issues have been cropping up. At first it would only happen in 3d games. I would get red snow across the screen, and the game would intermittently lock up or go to black until I force killed it. I've also started getting bluescreens too caused by nvlddmkm.sys

I've also been getting errors in the action center like these Source Windows Summary Sh - Errors - dRw2Ui23 - Pastebin.com

I don't think its because my cards overheating because it rarely goes above 60.

The worst part is that it's now spread beyond 3d games and now my desktop and even bios screens have red dotted lines on them.

And trying the latest drivers, or old drivers, or cleaning the drivers doesn't seem to help.

Is this a lost cause?

The BIOS screen appears before the OS is even loaded, so if it is also affecting your BIOS screens, then it does look as though your card is on its way out. Sorry. :(

You could try reseating the card and making sure that its fan is working properly.

Just cause the fan is going, doesn't necessarily mean that the card isn't failing. Normally it is the fan that goes first, then the chip overheats and is damaged. There have been a few reports where some nVidia drivers have cause problems with cards which would overheat and damage the chipset.

Double chk your cables too. Since you mentioned you just moved so I assume you had to unplug things and replug your pc connections.

If he unplugged the secondary power cable to the card, he wouldn't get video at all versus getting video with weird artifacts.

Artifacting on the bios screen is not a result of loose video cables either. If anything, his colors would be OFF, but no weird lines or characters on the screen, even on the Bios level. But now that he has mentioned he tried different monitors as well and still having the problem, it is pretty much his card might be a little fried.

At this point the only way to know is to try a different card in your system, or your card in a different system.
This should pretty much nail down if it's a hardware issue.

I'm inclined to agree with you from the descriptions, but I've seen bad cables causing similar symptoms not necessarily just being loose.

Sorry to hear this. Just a few things some you probably are aware of.
1. Make sure your power supply meets or exceeds your new cards minimum power requirements.
2. Keep all your receipts, in case you need to return the card. Also pending on the manufacturer make sure
you register the card within the alloted time frame in order to take full advantage of the warranty.
3. If you switch from Nvidia to ATI uninstall all the drivers, and use a program like driver sweeper to
remove any residual files left over
4. Handle the new card carefully and make sure you ground yourself by touching the metal on the case
before you install it to eliminate any chance of static discharge.
5. Please post back if this has resolved your issue so others may benefit from your post.
Thanks. Fabe .

Did you install the update drivers at ASUS or the ones from the CD.

If CD drivers go to ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support-
Enter your info in the curtains on the right.
Get the newest by date.
DO NOT get them from the Nvidia web site.
Get the ASUS they are modified for the ASUS card.
I have one.

Actually, it is recommended that when you change video cards in general, you uninstall the video drivers on the old system and get it back down to the standard VGA drivers before you put in the new card. Once you have the new card in, install first the drivers that came with the card first, see how stable things are. Save a restore point there, then if you really feel you need more performance, see if there are newer drivers.

So you think I should put the old card back in and then uninstall all the drivers?
