[QUOTE="Smartz, post: 848803, member: 14150"] [b]Reseated card[/b] Well I did a clean install or Leopard and put on SMC fan control. I'd heard of excessive dust and debris around the end on the connection of near the graphics causing this. I spun up the fans and there was a massive dust cloud come out of the machine. I decided to then open the machine and clean off any more dust. I rebooted and upgraded to 10.5.7. After doing this i ran a number of stress test, running iphoto and changing the image size and then using coverflow in itunes. Previously this would have triggered the start of the gui corruption but so far so good. [/QUOTE]
