green dots issue

hello

bit of an issue here

whenever i play any game in full screen mode, the screen is covered in green dots as if half the colours on screen have been changed to green, it progressively gets worse and worse the more i play into the game

if i change the game from full screen to windowed, everything is absolutely fine

it only started doing this yesterday i noticed when i was playing diablo 3 with some friends, but its now doing it on crysis 2 as well (haven't bothered to check any other games

anyone know what this could be?
 
right ok quick update, i tried a few games with sli disabled and they seem to be ok. as soon as i re-enable sli it all goes funny again.

any ideas?

im really desperate to sort this out as otherwise i have £200 worth of gfx card that i cant use!
 
It could be either Driver issues,Or Heat.

How hot do the cards get while you game in SLI?

Have you tried rolling back a driver or 2?
 
i have just uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers i have been using to no effect

its strange as i have been using the cards in sli for a few weeks now and have had no issues, and i have never changed the drivers either as i downloaded them straight from the nvidia website. and to date nvidia haven't released any more drivers

at idle they are around 30-35 degrees and under full load playing something like crysis for a few hours they are around 50-55

this is only in fullscreen mode though which is what is wierd and i dont seem to be able to find anyone else that has had a similar issue with this before

please help me!
 
Do you still get the green dots in full screen when you just run one 560 and the other one removed from your system?

Try them individually.
 
but if a card is damaged surely it wouldnt play properly in windowed mode though. i can feel a format coming up lol (my answer to everything)
 
Why format? waste of time....You can reformat, reload and still have same problem.
Try the cards individually as requested to determine if it is hardware or software issue.

Personally I think it might be a heat problem.
