EVGA GTS 450 graphics corruption

[Heathen Hammer]

So I've recently encountered a pretty bad problem. My graphics card, EVGA GTS 450, stopped working properly. Whenever I start any 3d game, I get weird graphic glitches with everything being deformed, textures corrupted, etc. I've heard that it has to do with card overheating. The problem is that I've used this card since December, but the problem appeared only now, so it can't be any hardware. I've also updated my drivers as well, but the problem still persists. Has anyone else encountered such problems?

doesnt your commune have another video card you can use?

uninstall your drivers completely using device manager, reinstall latest driver, check for any dust build up in the cards fan and vent, if all else fails you have a lifetime warranty on the card(assuming you registered it) and can send it in for a new one

ATI would be the best option.

Have you checked your temps and voltages?
