Leadtek GTX260 EXTREME+ PROBLEMS PLEASE HELP!

[kdawgsss]

hey guys,

i recently bought a winfast leadtek GTX260 EXTREME+ to replace my Asus 8800GT. well all i can say is that i wish i could get my 8800gt bak from my friend who i sold it to because im getting problems (video problems). When i surf the internet or jst leave it idle its fine but when i start to play some games well depending on the games if its weak like warcraft 3 nothing happens but when i start to run something more powerful like company of heroes the video just dies after 15 - 30 mins.

The display on my screen goes all colourful (pink yellow orange green purple so on) and has these weird lines from left to right top to bottom. iv had this problem many times when i played company of heroes on these past few days and due to this my comp freezes and crashes which i have to restart. btw iv tested other games and only company of heroes has this problem and i play it alot. Everything was working fine with my 8800GT until i changed video card.

my comp specs are
Q6600@ 3.2GHz
2GB 800 ram
Asus P5N-D
750 corsiar power supply
Antec P180 case
500GB samsung hard drive 7200rpm
500GB seagate hard drive 7200rpm
Leadtek GTX260 Ex + (use to be Asus 8800GT)
windows xp pro 32bit

im usin the lastest drives from nivida 185.85 windows xp 32bit.

compatibility issues? maybe company of heroes is demanding and overheats GPU? Test the card in a different computer and see how it goes. If the card is faulty, use ur warranty.

I'd say it's overheating. I say that because you've got your q6600 overclocked to 3.2GHz, two hard drives running at 7200 rpm and that nice new video card pumping out a lot'o heat, but you don't specify what kind of cooling you've got going on, I would check on that.
