Graphics Cards Diagnostic Software

Siemens · Post by **Siemens** » 12 Apr 2011, 10:14

Does anyone know if there is software available that can check if my graphics card is faulty? I've used this( http://www.technibble.com/repair-tool-o ... ress-test/) and it seems that my memory in the card itself is bad. However I do not really know how reliable it is.

I'm having several issues. 1) I'm getting a BSOD stating the there was a secondary processor clock interupt. The secondary processor I assume is the GPU.
2) Often if there is a dark image on the screen the image will show a green dot. THis is not a dead pixel because if I move the picture around the green dot moves with the picture. This seems to be happening more often.

I'm planning on eventually getting a new graphics card however I'd like to know for sure if there is any reliable software that I can use to see if the card is okay.

This may be stating the obvious but the best way to tell for sure would be to try your card in another machine. Schlep, I know, but it'll work.

My card is now suddenly overheating after whatever happened that resulted in the PSU being replaced.

Can't play Crysis 2!

I will check the app out you mentioned in the OP, as well as Rivatuner as you suggested.
