    I have a PNY GTX 285 which i believe is faulty but im not sure what tests to run to confirm.

    Ive tried F@H but that hasn't shown any errors, Also run Furmark for 10 mins and nothing happened apart form heating up the room a little.

    Reason i beleive this card is faulty is because in BFBC2 while in game the screen flashes black about 4/5 times a second. Doesnt do this with my other 285.

    Any ideas

    It's because you are playing in Dx10 ;)

    Force on Cx9 and it will fix it. I have the same problem with my 275.
