Hi guys, I'm experiencing a bit of a problem with (presumably) my graphics gard. It's an nVidia 7900GT and what's happening is I'm getting colored dots on dark backgrounds. They're not dead pixels though, because if I scroll the screen they move with it. Sometimes they even leave a kind of 'trail' behind. I've had the card over a year and I've only noticed this recently, any ideas what it could be? I've updated the drivers and that hasn't helped. It's not overheating either - the nVidia control panel says its 50-60 degrees, well in the 'green' zone.
