Post subject:  i think my gpu is going out on me

Alright the last few days i noticed one of my 9600gt's was running about 10 degrees hotter then the other one. Thought it was lack of air flow even tho i have a slot cooler right below it. So i switch them around and everything is normal but its still running hot. Then when i tried to play a game it gets this green haze to it for some reason the whole screen isn't like that but most of it is. When i try to play CS:S its different it's like lines running across my screen really fast. But watch streaming videos or anything but a game makes it F*CK up. Do you think that its starting to die on me. I removed it from my case and running on my other card right now and everything is back to normal.

Those lines are artifacts,yes its dying on you.RMA if you can,if not you can try to downclock the memory so maybe it will last till you get a new one.

Its most likely a memory module that went sour,due to heat or a thousand other things.Like i said if you cant drop coin on a new card right now underclock the memory and maybe the core too until the artifacts leave.
