Press down with a screw driver on all corners of the socketed chip on the card. This problem occurs because of thermal changes and is called chip creep.

∙ 14y agoDepending on the video card you will not be able to check the seating of the chip set. Generally anymore the chips are soldered onto the board and cannot be removed but if you have purchased one that has memory expansion sockets look along the legs and they should all be even in the socket. If you see any anomaly in the seating you may have one chip that is not seated properly and you can remove it by using a chip puller if you have one or if you do not being careful you can pry up one side then the other using a small screw driver. But this is only if the chip is plugged into a socket and not soldered onto the board. If all of the chops are soldered you will need a magnifying glass or a microscope to look at the solder joints to see if you can find any cracks along the solder edge. Just remember one thing anymore trying to find a replacement chip can cost more than just replacing the video card. That is why our society has become a disposable one.

Chips sometimes loosen because of thermal changes; this condition is called chip creep. pg. 422
