Okay heres the deal.
Last night I downloaded and installed Dragon Age Origins.
Every thing went fine with only one interruption. The game installed fine and direct x 10 was installed as well.
Everything seemed fine I sat through the opening trailer and set out to create a charecter. I was messing around changing hair color and stuff when the game locked up with some green rectangles scattered about on the screen.
No biggy I figure reboot and start again....
Now there are green rectangles all over the screen(s) arranged in a zig zag pattern.
Before you ask yes latest drivers.
The green lines and rectangles appear even as POST and bios load
I tried a system restore, tried un-installing Dragon Age, tried re-seating and cleaning the video card. No change, lots of green rectangles covering the screen.
Something like this...

Is it possible that the game blew up my video card ?
