Odd 7600GT problem

Right so, bought a computer a few weeks ago, had no problems untill a few days ago.

I'm taking a wild guess that its my graphics card. The only 2 games I play are Unreal Tournament 2004 and Last Chaos (free MMO), both ran fine, full settings, absolutely no issues.

2 days ago I was play UT2k4 when in the middle of the game I saw some random "polygons" in the sky. Then after, I looked at a person (my team or the other) and a whole bunch of these "polygons" hit me. When I would have my curser over something else it was fine, but every time I bought it back I would get them again. Now, I only had 30 seconds left in the game, so I finished and turned off my computer, thinking this would solve it.

When I turned it back on, I opened Last Chaos up, all the loading screens looked fine, but then I got into the game, I was hit with these "polygons" (image)

The funny thing is, I can move the camera around and find a certain angle where I can play the game fine, none of the polygons or anything, but every other angle I am being hit with 100's of these things moving around the screen, some just sitting in place.

I have an EVGA 7600GT card, installed all the latest drivers. The only thing Ive installed in the last few days is Starcraft, which I quickly uninstalled when this happened.

Anyone have any ideas?

I had that problem once, I just took it out, got rid of dust, put it back in and if that doesnt work try updating the drivers.
 
better then blowing on it and taking it out, just get some canned air and make sure your fan is spinning up fast enough
 
It might just be a failing card. I've gotten mine to around 75*C once(I forgot I slowed the fan down!) and it still never glitched or anything.
 
Just got it back. Put it in, but it fit kind of funny, but turned the computer on to see if it worked, which it did, took it out, and tried to put it back in but it still fit funny (before it didnt fit funny) but I was like ok whatever, just want to use the computer. Tried turning it on. I got the loud long beep I always get and then 3 short beeps after. My monitor is showing "No signal input"

Whats wrong?
 
Check if it is running the default clock speed. Use Rivatuner to check the current speeds. Then google to see the default speeds for this card.
