Graphic Cards My 6600GT dead?

I think you should try cleaning the RAM modules, removing them and then re-inserting them. I know RAM has no relation with graphics card but I had this very same bug once and replacing the RAM solved my problem (I had blue and yellow vertical lines however).
 
oh really? i should try with RAM thing now. i will remove all three modules and keep 1 module which is cleaned. wat i did is, i removed nvidia drivers, then i logged in safe mode ran driver cleaner, and then my card was showing me same lines in boot up screens and desktop and welcome screens were clean. and then when i installed drivers. again i got those patterns :( and making this card worthless. while playing games yesterday i didnt overclock it was just 500mhz core and 900mhz memory. cause i know of summer the temp might go up. max temp went up was 85deg during most wanted benchmark. but i was playing prince of persia the two thrones. now what am i supposed to do? i lost the most imp asset of my life cant live without it. :(
 
i removed card and cleaned all the pins... they r proper... :) i also cleaned the card thoroughly replaced heatsink compound on HSI bridge and on GPU. i see the edge or HSI bridge on the edge little broken :O

Post a clear pic of the affected part .....
 
i cant. dont have a digicam :( just have a webcam. i can show it on webcam :( gpu also has 1 side of edge chipped off :O and also HSI Bridge chip is chipped off. but it works gives display without drivers. the prob starts after i install drivers and get patterns in bios screens and xp load screens. and display goes off at welcome screen and then after removing drivers from safe mode, i can use my pc. weird proble :(

its a common problem in 6600GTs ..... coz the HSF is not properly fitted and u can bent it in both directions ..... so it will damage the GPU core ..... mine 6600GT is also have some edges broken but its working fine .....

can u try the card in some other computer ..... or some other card in ur computer ??

^^ yeah the HSF is fixed only in 2 points ..... rather than all 4 points ..... lemme explain with a pic .... here is a pic of my 6600GT (can't find any better than this) ....

in the pic u can see the HS can be bent in the direction of the arrow and it can damage the core .... same is true for HSI bridge but as the HS is small its not that bad .....

i also read somewhere on the net that to be careful when handling these cards ....

yeah i have a 6600GT in my secondry system .....
 
hey i could load drivers.
but overnight my Geforce 4 is getting more worst patterns then my 6600GT wat seems to b the prob here? is it the AGP slot:O
