    I've been looking all over the web for some kind of solution to the problem I have been having and I haven't been able to find anything. Recently I have noticed that I get random "stuck pixels" all over my monitor (noticeable when moving windows with dark backgrounds around). However, they can't be stuck pixels because they grad along with the window and I can take screen shots. I bought a new monitor (not becuase of the issue), and the pixels are literally in the exact same places on both monitors, even during bootup (one large white pixel pops up under the "platinum" logo). I know the problem is with the video card (BFG 7900 GT OC) and was wondering if anyone knew a fix or way to solve this problem. My card is still under warranty, but I don't have another PCI-e card lying around to use if I send this card in.
