Hello, after having my computer locked over night I got into some problems today.
I wrote in the password, and at the log in screen all seemed well, but when it enter my user the first thing I noticed was the mouse was frozen for a few seconds. Then the screen went off, and on without aero, then off again and on with aero, then off and on and everything was completely off. It continued like this for a while, in the same way it behaves when changing resolution in a fullscreen game etc.

Eventually crashed into bluescreen.

Restarted and the same thing happened as I tried to log in, in safety mode things works fine.

So what should I do ? I'm currently updating my graphic driver incase it was corrupted, might try repair windows 7. If it helps I'll let you know, any other ideas?

Since I didn't have much important files on the disk where windows was, I reinstalled formated the disk and reinstalled windows. I downloaded the latest nvidia graphic card driver and got it running again. But it's still not working as it should. if I try to enable aero it begins flickering again, and eventually the nvidia driver stops responding and it goes back into standard. There are also several pixel errors and colors around on the screen that are not there due to the monitors.

Considering this has never been a problem before with this graphic card, and it started without any real changes happening, I suppose it's most likely a hardware issue with the graphic card. Would be nice if someone who were able to understand dump files could confirm that if it looks that way in the dump as well..

Guessing at this point I'll be checking up on warranties, though I don't have high hopes as this is already a replacement card. Anyone have experience with cooking graphic cards in the oven? a last resort if there is no warranty I suppose.

After baking the graphic card everything seems to be working, so I guess that was the fault.
