Is my X800 Pro dying?

[jlee24219]

Hey ive gotten lines or something on my screen (look at thei picture) and am wondering if this is a hardware problem. I updated hard drives could this cause the drivers not to load properly? Thanks. and if it is going bad how long does it take ATI's warranty people to come through? Thanks, lets hope its not going bad though.

O yeah when i restart the problem is gone for a long while, then shows up later on a cold boot.

Seems like a memory problem. Re-seat the AGP in agp slot again. If it doesn't correct the problem, RMA it. Lowering clock might help also, but in any way, you need an RMA.

I guess I won't worry about it till it happens and I can't fix it, I have no other card to substitiute while that ones out.

Yes, that dose look like something is wrong with the card. Id advise you to use the warrent! The downside is you wont have your card for a cuple weeks, but its under warrenty so it has to be replaced, much better than the alternatives!

I'm not sure about ATI, but Asus and MSI branded cards offer advance RMA so you don't need to send your card until you get the new one. The only downside is you need to leave your credit card number with them. Either way, that does look like a dying card.
