it's been acting up a couple of times over the past weeks, but nowhere near as bad as this.

actually yeah, try taking the card out and cleaning the contacts where it goes into the motherboard

can't hurt

awesome, problem solved

not really though

have you run a temperature monitoring program to see if it's overheating?

bad gpu

hit your computer and yell "mother fucker!". sometimes works....

Have you tried sand?

the temp is around 42c while idle, 60c~ while working (gaming etc), so that's not the problem.

what's weird though is that in the monitoring program thing the "activity" is constantly at 99%, even when im not doing anything.

ffuuck it, might aswell get a new card, i really can't be bothered with shit like this, just work damnit.

data is easily one of my favourite watmmers

did u try to run a UBUNTO LIVE BOOT CD to see if it still hapens there

try running a bunch of anti virus programs

i just tried running a couple of games and they all look like this

most idm 2012?

can it run Crysis?

no, captain

Yeah dude, looks like it's either overheating or something is glitched out. Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers? Doubt it will fix, but it's easier than replacing the card. How old is it? Maybe clean out the heatsink/fan and try again, just one part of it could be blocked, causing that part to overheat?

easy.

i opened up and vacuumed my computer just the other day and everything looked fine, and according to my ati monitoring program it's not overheating, and i did reinstall the drivers recently.

weird innit!

done

Have you tried doing something nice for it for a change? Maybe take it to dinner, let it talk about its own feelings for once? You bastard?
