Hello fellow forumers, I have a little problem with my video card. Any experts can guide on troubleshooting?

It is an 'on-and-off' issue. What happen is, once in a while, the screen will show 'off-colored boxes' randomly. Its about 2cm by 2cm boxes, about 10 to 15 boxes just randomly appeared.

After a while it will go away and everything back to normal.
The boxes is some sort of greenish color.

Is there a way to test if the card is going bad?
It us still usable for now, just irritating when it happen.

Thanks! :)

Yes, most likely is graphics card going up lorry.
Use onboard IGP if available.

I still have a few months left on warranty. But it's a on and off issue. Able to RMA? If not how to test if it's going to uplorry? :(

On/off issue is hard to reproduce when you RMA it.
Run graphics intensive benchmark to stress it.
