Memtest ran fine on mine.

Mine was at stock everything... the second install was totally vanilla w/o anything other then the drivers and the benchmarks installed. Still had the same problem.

Its not a heat issue cause I could play an hour of HALO then instantly reboot when I tried 3dMark05.

Yea the replacement I got is running awesome. Got a 3DMark score of 2754.
Have been playing games trying not to pay any attention to the line going down the center of the screen. I still have the original but was gonna ship this one back first to get the screen replaced. I dont think I could swap the screens myself plus it might void my warranty. I'll call them and see what they say. Best of luck to the others having problems.

I used memtest 86 I downloaded through there site I forgot the address though. I found out of it through another post in this site. U have to make an image file and copy it to cd then use it too boot from. I think thats what was causing mine to reboot after running 3DMark05 or it could be something else but atleast I got one now thats running good.

Installed Halo and FarCry... Both games loaded and were playable. Farcry had some texture and lighting problems that I couldn't resolve via settings. (incorrect interior lighting, washed out textures, water dosen't have the reflectivity it should) I tested it with low, medium, high and very high settings. Halo appeared to play w/o any issues.
While you certainly had other problems, which version of Far Cry were you using? I ask simply due to the fact that the desktop 6800GT card has SERIOUS FC issues without the 1.3 patch. A fresh install of Far Cry has all of the problems you mentioned when running on a 6800GT. The 1.3 patch fixes it right up.

If you were already on 1.3, well, I dunno. However, it seems that regular FC does not work properly with the 6800 chipset.

Well, there ya go. That at least explains the Far Cry situation. :P It just doesn't work properly on the 6800 GPU without a patch.
