well about a year ago around december i bought a Nvidia 9600 GT, installed it, and for about a year it worked perfectly but one day, a month ago, at random my screen started turning blue with red and green rectangles, then the whole screen froze and the sound looped. i researched what was happening and some people said my video card was "artifacting" well over the weeks it got worse now i cant even watch a youtube video, or even play sim city 3000 (best game ever). randomly my screen will turn all black and and the top will flicker with whatever color the screen was, then after about a minute, my screen will turn blue with artifacts all over it, and it will say nv4_disp infinite loop. beginning physical memory dump. physical memory dump complete.

sometimes it will also go to the blue screen and say hardware failure. contact hardware supporter. can anybody help????

(sorry im kind of naive with computers)

you should probably update the driver or if you updated then this happened roll back.maybe its dusty and is over heatingor thethe fan speed is to low and should be turned up, getrivatuner to do this maybe its an overheating problem. if none one that works it may just be a bad card and needs replaced.
