Pixles show up then BSOD. Help!

I had this problem ever since I got my video card which was ages ago. Basically what happens is at random points a bunch of different colored pixles come up on the screen, the computer freezes, then I get the BSOD. I'm almost certain it's because of the video card.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? And yes I do have the latest drivers for my card. I have an ATI Radeon X1600 Pro. Anyone have any answers? Thanks for the help.

That happens to me when i have an unstable overclock, it could be overheating too............X360PS3AMD05

Well my card is running at about 70 degrees cslsius so would that be too hot?

probably.... because mine gets no hotter then 34floridaskater05

Wow. That has to be the problem then. Is there anyway I can make it cooler?

My card crashes at factory clock at those temps. I fixed it by underclocking the card about 10mhz.

You can also buy an aftermarket cooler for the card, but for such a card, I don't see the point. Plus 10mhz isn't going to come out in your gaming.

When you start to game i would go into your card settings and set your fan to 100% manually. 70 isnt that hot of a temp but that sounds like your problem so maybe your gpu just doesnt have the tolerance it should.dieasgrey

Alright. Thanks for you help everyone.
