Thats not the first time ive heard of that specific card disintigrating back to the desktop. (does it have a whitescreen before it dies)

is it the video card the games the drivers my computer?? im preparing to go nvidia becaseu I dont want to deal with this mismatched ati crap

Isnt it ironic that with the ealier released of Doom3, it was nVidia that had problems?

yeah the screen gets light gray

LOL that used to be an nVidia problem heehee, try a different driver revision. One of my buddies who had that problem fixed it by going from 4.2 to 4.6 ... maybe that works for you maybe not.

i did some bios updates and some much needed chipset updates and that seemed to do the trick...for now that 6800 gt is looking mighty fine right about now...hmmmm
