Well, I'm kinda bummed. I had two 8800's, so I gave a friend one. The first time I let someone borrow my second card, my pc acted fine. Yet this time, it freezes up almost always, and has these weird lines and pixels across it. So I restart. Usually fixes the problem, but now I can't avoid it.
So I tried to install a newer driver for my card. Look what fucking happened:

See, I can't tell if it looks fucked up, or it's fine. My screen shows it as all line-covered and in 800x600. My monitor is 1680x1050 usually, what the fuck.
ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE FUCK I CAN DO?

Get your other card back.
But I called Dell and they're sending me two new 8800's, but I think its a driver issue now :/
From the sound of things, the card you have left is dead/dying, and you let your friend borrow the card that was actually working.
:frog:
Did you configured your PC after changing hardware or came dumb whore way?
Well I'm not entirely sure what to do here. Tried re-installing drivers, same issue. EVerything works perfectly, it's not freezing up on me or lagging out, but everything is plastered with LSD-pixels. Gwah,
Well, the colours thing is because it's in 16 bit colour mode or something like that. You sure you don't just need to go into display settings at set it back to 32 bit colour mode?
Your card is dying and you fucked up the drivers. I'd just do a clean windows install to be safe there are no driver leftovers.

Well this is what it says happened, it was already in 32-bit mode. Derp

I think you're using the VGA controller or w/e that that's used in the absence of proper graphics cards.
..and how does that help me fix it
I can barely navigate Windows as it is

No need for a clean install of Windows. Run [url=http://downloads.guru3d.com/Guru3D---Driver-Sweeper-(Setup)-download-1655.html]Driver Sweeper[/url] in safe mode.
Temperatures?
Or it is dieing.
From those Screenshots, it looks like a driver issue.
Oh god it's like the OIFY.

Everyone saying the driver's are the issue are probably right, considering you can't even tell what card you have.

I was only trying to help, you'd be surprised how often people miss the small things like that. There's really no need to act like a dick.

wait he was being a dick?
Oh no.
Well that's what it looks like to me, considering his dumb rating and the "Derp". If not then disregard this, I'm not exactly in the best of moods right now.

From his other thread.
If you have integrated graphics, use it for now. Try uninstalling your current drivers, and not install any other drivers. It should allow you to use a higher resolution with proper colors, no fancy stuff though.
Two free ones on the way, I'm not complaining
Imma try to play games like this
[editline]6th March 2011[/editline]
didn't work at all
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~;28462871]Go away.[/QUOTE]
Why?
[QUOTE=pokey;28464573]Why?[/QUOTE]
Your advice was so wrong it appears as if you were trolling. Why would you use driver sweeper if you are just going to reformat anyway?
Remove all driver installations, go to device manager, right click on your graphics card, and select uninstall driver. Windows will now reinstall it with the default VGA driver, allowing you to see your screen properly at least.
