(1/2) > >>

flynn:
hey!
So, I recently installed a game (Turok 2008) It was shit, and broken... so i uninstalled.

Great! But wait.... im left with this issue >_>



Its only noticable when playing games at like 50fps+ but it happens rapidly, like soon as you run it, and all over the screen, everywhere!!
untill you 'refresh' the pixel area manualy by moving the object off the screen,
or just outright crashes the OS into BSOD error - nv4_disp.dll.

Cool, broken drivers...
 *uninstalls, updates, same, uninstalls, cleans all drivers and registery, updates, same...., uninstalls, uses a driver sweeping tool, installs... same... >.>

*does the same with physx and DirectX* no luck... >.>

I dont know what this graphical artifact error is so cant look in the right direction for soloutions .. any ideas what its called?!

GTX 460
Core i7
WinXP
4gb RAM
3tb western digital greens

This realy seems like a driver issue but I cant work it out,
Im about to go SLI with 2 gtx460... but this has kinda stalled it.
Everything worked fine before so what the frack ?!

Its gonna be a clean install at this rate !! =/

I tried everythink im thinking of, making sure its all set up right, same refresh rate, system restore ect ect... but meh >.<!

Thanks !!

I posted on the nvidia forums but more opinon = faster/ quicker ;p

bloody000:
overheating or defective card. RMA it ASAP.

flynn:
Woah woah easy there tiger!!

Thanks for your reply,

But I strapped in my old hdd and it runs everything fine so I don't think hardware is at fault.

It has to be driver related, nvidia your unstaller sucks!! Ahaha

Its like trying to remove a root-kit xddd

*goes back to tinkering... sigh*

sapsa:
maybe when you change hdd's gpu wasn't hot like it was before?
Try to check temperature in any case

n2m:
It's most likely video memory corruption caused by overheating since it only starts to occur when you play games.
Those graphic intensive games makes your card overheat thus causing those artifacts.

Check the temperature of your card when you run those games.
It's good to clean off dust from the graphic card periodically so that the graphic card can be properly ventilated
