Video Problems with css

[newbling]

hi,

whenever I join a server and start playing, everything works..
but after playing some time, suddenly my hud disappears, the sky also.. and also other models.
after joining another server, everything works again - for some minutes.
my system specs are:
amd 3000+, 1024mb RAM, radeon 8500/64mb
winxp+fixes, newest ati drivers etc.

and here are some screenshots to describe the situation, click to enlarge:


a series where you can see the hud disappearing, .. look at the sky .. :flame:



so, if anybody can help or has a tip, thanks in advance.

turn off the rainbow hax noob.

lawl, is this the first time this has happened or what? your video card is ancient and I'm surprised c-s looks as good as it does on your card. get a new video card plzkthx.

anyways - I have played hl2 and css with that card before. it was working.
at that time, I hade an amdxp1700+, 521mb ram on an epox 8kha+.

now I upgrades mobo and cpu, so why shouldn't it work again?!

Might be overheating causing the artifacts. I mean look at these:
