Is my graphics card dying?

[Tweaker]

Getting this now and again, also getting BSOD and driver failed messages on my GTX 570. I have tried 3 different nvidia drivers, performing clean installs each time.

looks like it is artifacting try and re-apply your thermal paste and try it again, most thermal pastes used by big manufacturers are cheap nasty ones to save them money, if that doesnt work its buggered, could try warrantee replace it if it still is under it

That corruption is unlikely to be caused by heat, and therefore the thermal paste isn't the issue. Its probably dodgy VRAM. Probably gonna be an RMA

Is this just on boot?

If you can RMA it, do so. Raise ticket and attach image.

I don't think it's the thermal paste unless you've applied it yourself.

Nope, haven't touched it. I didn't turn on my computer for a month, so it might be related to that, in any case, I hope to be able to send it back to OCUK.
