Hi guys, im realatively new to the forums but ahve been a reader of THG for a couple of years now. That is why that when i encounted this error with my graphics card i thought that somebody here would be able to help me
The other day when i turned on my computer, the startup images were distorted and at the desktop there were 4 thinck lines about 10 pixels wide each that wew all distortedgoing form the top of the screen to the bottom. I restarted a couple of times, re-installed the drivers (Omege 4.12 been using em for ages) and it went away so i thought happy days but then the day or so after iw as playing WoW and this happened:
Doesnt look too good. My graphics card is a 9800XT and i ahve had it since release of HL2 really. It used to get very hot playing that game and i could see a few pixels turning red or white so i bought an arctic cooling cooler which took the temp down form 90 degrees celcius to about 65-70 and it worked fine ever since until the other day when those things started happening. At the minute im running on my old 9200SE but i woudl really like to get my 9800XT back in the action.
Any help no the matter would be greatly appreciated,
thanks,
Matt.
