http://gizmodo.com/5035980/inquirer-pretty-much-every-nvidia-geforce-8800-9600-and-9800-graphics-card-is-defective

there are some guides online to re-seat the heatsinks and all but most people just bake them (instructions online) or at this point, simply upgrade them: a 9600 is barely worth anything anymore; you can get a really solid upgrade for under 100. Remember that since the 9000 series nvidia has now ploughed through five successive generations of cards, and is now getting ready to embark on a sixth. Your card is pretty much obsolete.
