Graphics problems

[Kwaliti]

Ok, where to start... Whenever I run a 3D application, the textures go all messy after a minute of running, followed by insane screen blinking for a few seconds, well, this is how WoW turned out to be after a minute of play:



I tried updating my drivers. Nothing happened, I think it only became worse.

I'm running on a AMD Athlon 64 x2 4200+, 2GB RAM, and a GeForce 8500 GT. I have a decent cooling on my PC, since I'm (obviously) running on an AMD processor.

Any help?

Huh. The only thing I can recommend is completely uninstalling and reinstalling your drivers. The only time I've ever seen anything like this is on the old NES consoles.

 

[Kwaliti]

Nope, didn't work not even after a system restore.

I pray that I won't have to wipe my system, AGAIN!

Tried reinstalling the game yet( you probably have) because it may be that the textures have become corrupted... and if that does not work, try finding a system restore point from before you had the problem and restore you pc to that time.

Thats all I can think of sorry :/

Nah, it happens in all games. Even Milkshape is affected.

It appears that this might be a hardware problem. I'll take my PC to the guys at the store and see what they can do.

If software is not to blame, has your video card taken any damage? Is your power supply working correctly and delivering correct voltages and sufficient current?

 

[Kwaliti]

Well, I visited my PC supplier, and it appears that I've got a faulty motherboard by their mistake. That's why my PC started overheating and I got a ton of errors. All in all, the problem's solved. Thanks for help

Glad you got it resolved.
