Still 3+ hours to go... 16 bpp BGR: not supported (what does that mean?) code 88760091 It's a MSI 6600GT on AGP. The cooler got broken and i replaced it with a zalman. But i guess there was some damage till i got the new cooler... And do i really need to solder? I thought that maybe i just need to cut the connections to that particular chip (like some CPU hardware overclokings (removing the FSB block and so on)). now i’m at 5.2 billion errors (test 138 of 254)… Still 3+ hours to go…

The games work ~ok now in medium->low settings (only a few restarts in a week) but they used to work very good with high settings (now i get a restart every time i try to make those settings...

It wouldn't be worth it, just buy another video card. Helmut, you cant unless you get a multimedia and are VERY good with soldering. It wouldn’t be worth it, just buy another video card.

I guess this will be quite handy when there are problems with graphics. I will definitely be trying this out and sharing it with my viewers on my blog. Thanks for pointing it out.

This sounds like a very good piece of diagnostic software. Testing the video card ram isn't something I would think of. This is going to be a great tool. I like how you used to to diag WoW though. So many people play that game, myself included. Well thanks for the info, and thanks for all your help! Hey Bryce!
