    After using the ati radeon x1950 pro sapphire for about 3 weeks and after playing a 3d application for about 30 seconds the screen all of a sudden shows a lot of colorful stars or "specks" and then another 30 seconds later a bunch of colorful triangles appear that point to the center of the screen. I have tried a couple of different games and still the same problem occurs. The problem is really bad and bad enough to not even see what's going on in the game. My buddy told me that it could be that my video card is going out... is this true?

    P.s. - This only occurs while i am playing a 3-d application.... Nothing happens when windows is booted or running. ..

    sounds like the VRM's are overheating.. they make a specific heatsink for them. Various solutions are provided at the sapphire forums.
