If its starting to happen in more games try reseating the gpu but my bet is on the gpu memory knackered, if oc'd at all try running at standard. If not probably new gpu time?

right turned pc on this morning was fine, logged on and it was ok, went out and came back 2 hours later, its froze, blue dots everywhere and restarted it, booted up and same thing happened before even finishing the log in... Think gfx card is screwed?

Think gfx card is screwed? Does it do it in Safemode? Sounds like a heating issue or the card is knackered, either the memory or CPU, are you 100% sure the fan is working correctly? Unless you try another card you can never be 100% sure as memory is paged from main into the GPU memory so if the main memory had developed a problem it may show similar symptoms. Try this? http://download.cnet.com/Video-Card-Stability-Test/3000-18512_4-10418474.html_________________

i took the 9800 from my parents pc and put it in mine... no problems...
added twist... i put mine in theres and it didnt have any problems... (but they have no games to test it further)
but i put it back in mine, the flickering has stopped... but i cant play games cuz its to much and stuffs up...
heating problems - temps are still like normal... they havent changed but i have dusted out my GPU...
will test other things later..
i have parents GPU for a swap out and a spare p5k mobo for swap out but have nothing else spare...

Just out of interest, what manufacturer is your card?
It's worth checking that out, because my 8800GTX had a lifetime warranty.
When it went tits up, I just asked for an RMA on their web site, sent it back and got a brand new 250 1Gb OC.
Even if it's not life time, I'm pretty sure it'll still be in warranty. That is of course, if you bought it brand new.
