Be nice, guys.
I appreciate that you're trying to help and are trying to root the cause, but there's no need to interrogate the chap when he's just trying to find a solution.
FWIW, I had an XFX card once and it did the same exact thing, which is kind of uncanny. Never had that problem before or since.
After trying other methods, I concluded it was probably a faulty display-out chip of some kind (I don't know if you've ever watched TronicsFix; that's often a problem on some products such as these).
I sent it to XFX for a RMA...and they sent it right back w/o fixing it. Which, you know, wasn't cool.
The card is floating around in a box somewhere; never could fix it even after trying methods such as these. Thought about breaking out the multi-meter and soldering iron, but never got around to it.
That is my XFX story. The first and last one.
I apologize that I don't have a solution, and wish you luck. If you figure something out, lmk. If it works for you, decent chance it'll probably work for me.
