I'll try it
I can't find an update
hmm.. i rember i had an ati cardheres advice reinstall the drivers okay and i dont really trust ati because they f868cked up my computer so beware i recomend Nvidia there the best out there 😀
I reinstalled it and it still has the same problem.
In ' run' type dxdiag, see if theres any problems, if not, try its help menu so you can track down the problem
Could you post a screenshot? Also, make sure you're filtering isn't set to 'none' under the Customize menu in Graphics.
here it is
(that blue line is part of accidental editing)
I've seen something similar, but that was due to a faulty tv card
What power supply do you have
I've seen that before when there was insufficent power to drive the card properly
Also check for overheating in your case
The power is set to the highest it goes. It is not overheating because there is a loud fan on it
I still have the same problem 😞
I think it is overheating. What can I do ❓

You can open up your computer case and clean it out. I'm not suer if that'll work though...
I dont use the covers/panels on my computer, never overheats, have to use an air compressor now and again to clean it out

Yeah, I agree with you, Warlord. I think I'll give my comp a good clean with an air-compressor but I advise anyone NOT to use a vacuum as the end of the vacuum builds up static electricity and it may damage the components inside of the computer.
Before I do something like that, How do I know for sure that it is over heating.
And where do I buy an air compresser
Check the heatsink for caked in dust between the narrow vanes. Don't blow compressed air (buy can in computer store) into the fans if they are running, put a thin object against the fan blade and then use the compressed air. If you don't you can damage the bearings.
Don't point the can down, keep, it straight.
Add a fan on the inside back grid of the case blowing out, cheap $20.
My old video card ( Nvidia GeForce 6150Le ) never overheated. Why would the heatsink have to do with it?
More chips on the card, more technology, more power user = working harder and getting hotter
I just cleaned out my system yesterday. I am getting better preformance. But i still have some green blocks. Any suggestions

I think you should re-install the driver that you're using. And check if it's the latest one, too. Drivers make a big difference on how your graphics-card preforms.
Can someone give me a link to it?
