I have an eVGA NVidia 9600GT and just recently it started giving me noise while I watched a video, and if I load up even a 2D game it will work for a few minutes then start to freeze up my computer. A 3D game will make me have to restart it manually. It isn't the card because I have two of the same and tested both.
I just tried reinstalling my drivers (not completely, just installing the new ones over the old ones) but I'm going to try a complete new install of drivers now.
A couple of pictures to show you what I mean: look closely

Any help is appreciated, thanks!
EDIT: There was no noise or anything whatsoever without the drivers, but now that they are reinstalled the noise is back. Driver Sweeper doesn't look like it's removing all the driver files, is this normal? Do you think maybe I have a bad batch of drivers?

Faulty memory on the card, have it replaced. Typical of EVGA 8/9 series cards.

It can also be caused by an insufficient cooler. Either way, time to get a quality card.

It can be, but usually if a card produces artifacts like this when it gets hot, it's either getting absurdly hot, or it is faulty. A properly working graphics card should shut down due to overheat before it starts to produce corruption.

A properly working graphics card should not overheat in the first place ;)

card has gone bad as ran into that with a customer's brand new system. it was artifacting on post screen not windows as long as driver not loaded. once driver was loaded then it would freeze. replaced bad card with identical new card with same driver & ran with no problems at all after 2yrs.

Yeah that's what happens once the problem gets bad. I've seen that on loads of systems, artifacts pre-windows, once windows appears, crash, or in one instance, a milky white screen with grey blotches - that one was interesting... (Go7900GTX)

Yeah, they took a lot to get running when I first bought them, EDIT: THEY ARE BAD. Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it greatly. It got to the point where it would slow down when I was STREAMING VIDEO, I put in my old 8600GTS and it's been smooth sailing ever since.
Going to get a new card though!

you just proved it was a bad card when the 8600GTS works okay.
