Graphics problems with games

[Atomi]

I've got this weird problem that just started to happen a day ago.
I bet it's my ATI Radeon 9700pro that has some overheating problems. Thing is, this only occurs in HL2 games and rarely in other games. I just wanted to know if some of the people here have had problems like this.

I don't know what this problem is but it looks really bad.
I wouldn't continue to play it untill you fix it
If you are overclocking, reduce it
Try re-seating your graphics card
Put more fans in there. You can try puting a house-hold fan up to your PC to see if that stops it, then you know that is the problem

I took the tower's wall off and it cooled it a little. I guess. After that CS ran without problems. Maybe it'll pop up sometime soon and I'll investigate it further. And yes, there's some overclocking on my CPU , because it isn't stable on what it was originally.

yep, i've seen that crop up a lot with overheating and/or driver issues

But I've never heard of a cpu not being stable unless its overclocked.

My mainboard has this "Jumperfree overclocking" so I can set some overclocking from there. I screwed around one time, not overclocking, and after that, it got unstable. I fixed it by setting some overclocking. If I return to standard, it crashes on boot.

I'm glad you got it working.
(Asuming its winter/cold where you live)When summer comes around and your room temps increase, go ahead and add another couple degrees to your CPU heat...

Spend $10 or $15 and get another fan. I wouldn't play it on the verge of over-heating.

Or you can buy a new computer
$500-$3000

lol

That's your gfx memory - and it looks like it's fubared.

Return it if you can, if not try underclokcing the memory.

I think my Radeon was just overheating. I opened the box and vacuum cleaned the dusts off the fans and other places. Damn I just love vacuuming those fans, they go like 10 000 rpm
Seems to be working now. It sucks if it would get busted up, I'd have to buy a new one.

Yeah it's winter here, though a lame one. Today it was just around 0°c to -1°c so water doesn't even freeze. My board and CPU temps are around 33-40°c. That's around 100 fahrenheit according to SiSoft Sandra. Damn weirdo American measurethingies :hmph: .

my freind has the same problem it has to do with the overclocking
