Ok update guys. The system was running fine, but we found that it wouldn't run 3dmark for some reason. Then, when trying to display 3d images on ATI Tool, i was getting some really bad graphical errors, and it then started doing this even before windows loads up and randomly within windows. Tried it with XP and got the same results. In short, the card is fudged. The m8 we got it from thought it may have been driver problems when it happened to him and the idea was tht we wud ty it with the new drivers and keep it if it worked. It's been sent of for RMA today, so hopefully we will have a replacement within a week or 2. If they wont replace it for some reason i will probably be spending the last of my pennies on an 8800GTS 320mb or 640mb depending on how much i have left, and maybe the Swiftech Stealth block, which covers everything including the ram chips and mosfets.
Hoping it doesn't come to that tho.

Roz
