Failing 9800 Pro

Hi,

I bought a 9800 Pro about 14 months ago. It was exchanged because it
failed and stopped working completely after about 4 months.

The replacement has now developed a fault where random bits of colour
appear on the screen. It is especially evident when you move a window
around the display - the window seems to gather, and leave behind,
coloured dots and lines. The replacement was a Connect 3D - I'm not
sure what the 1st was.

With both these cards I fitted one of the full length Artic Coolers. I
fitted a temperature sensor to the second one and it got up to about
60 C playing 3D games.

Anyhow I'm not sure what to do now. Are 9800 Pros fragile? Are there
more robust ones? Any advice? How does an X700 compare (they are
cheaper)?
