went to play my favorite game last night and got this "error" twice:



started playing today and it did it again. this time my monitor said signal not found when i was booting it up.

I updated the drivers and that doesn't seem to help.

Look on the bright side... you get to buy a new, better, card now.

last resort you might want to check the actual card in the case to make sure that it is making good contact. I had that problem a long time ago and it was so frustrating because it was somewhat random with nothing I did making any difference. Turns out it was screwed on a little too tight and over a few years the edge of the card was slowly pulling out of it's slot and was not making good contact.

Re-seated the card and it worked like a charm

^On the same note, excess dust can actually play a part in temporary shorts that cause graphical glitches like that ... so dust away.

Or it could be a heat issue, make sure your heat sink fans are working properly.
