A gfx card cannot get any "virus". The problem you are most prolly experience is due to heating up of the gfx card. Check if the fan is working properly. Also try to report the temp. of the gfx card which will clear the doubt whether its due to the excessive heating of the gfx card.

+1 to the above post.

Install Speedfan (freeware) to monitor the temperatures.

lol....:lol:

Anyways, its either to monitor or overheating of the grafix. Monitor ur temps. with SpeedFan or RivaTuner...... anthing above 75C mark is dangerous!!

To understand the joke, read comp@ddict's post above me.

XFX 8600GT is an Electirve Stove, it aint a grafix card. Though a little effort for XFX's side led to the XFX 8600GT UDF3 but it made a little difference. HD4850's problem is nearly sorted out and Palit is offering the Sonic Edition with new BIOS update and a new fan :).
