hey guys,

I have a problem with my 5970 and I would like to share with you maybe someones has an explanation of whats going wrong...

When I PLAY GAMES I get this weird black pixel on the screen.. I have update my bios version on the motherboard.. I have also try different version of catalyst... But still the problem is not fix!!!

The most weird think is that I get this problem even I play 3D GAMES on miniclips... :/

I don't know what's going on so if someone has any ideas please let know...

See the picture below !!

That my friend is called Square Artifacting caused by overheating VRAM, is your card all spick and span dust free and when was the last time you re pasted or re padded the cooler?

First of all I appreciate that you have reply back to me thank you!!

I have replace thermal material on GPU before a few days, but i don't replace the VRAM... so probably that cause the problem...
 
It's always a good idea to replace the thermal pads on the VRAM with fresh ones when you do the GPU paste, I see this type of artifacting quite often with old pads that have been contaminated with fingerprint grease and dust.

Can I used thermal paste on VRAM? Or I should need Thermal Gap Filler ? Like the plastics pads..
