BGM Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 looks like prolems with your card first thing to check would be overheating, so take the side off the case and blast a deskfan in their for a bit see if it helps.. if so, u know what to do the other thing could be that the card is hosed.. which has happened to two of my graphics cards that had poor cooling and were running at clock speeds in which case u will need to send it back Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/336843-problem-red-dots-on-screen/#findComment-586121790 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your motherboard might be on the fritz. Do you have another monitor you can try so you can at least rule that out?

BGM Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 also the damage of poor cooling could already be done... :/ like i said point a desk fan at it, and if it dosent fix it ur card is damaged most likely Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/336843-problem-red-dots-on-screen/#findComment-586123393 Share on other sites More sharing options...
