So I installed HL2 today and I was playing for about an hour or so. Then all of a sudden, it was during the hoverboar part, the background got all blocky and was over lapping in like 4 layers. I shut down HL2 then tried to play CS: Source later and it was even worse...

I triend lowering al the settings in the games. I tried it in Call of Duty and the same thing happened. I also upgraded and tried the passed 4 versions of the ATI drivers and updated my sound and BIOS. I unistalled Steam and HL2 after all that and the screen is still ****ed...

ALso, when windows boots up, there are yellow dashed lines.. I dunno, I\'m lost now, anyone have any insite?

is the fan running on the card?

I agree with Sqid Grind, check your fan and maybe enything else that would cuase it to overheat. If you have a diagnostic program check your running temp. Does it show more artifacts when under stress?

Right now it says it\'s running at 50 degrees celsius..

dood, is the Fan running on the card or not, check to see if it is, it could be simply a dead fan and the gpu is overheating when on load.

If your artifacting that bad then yea its gotta be your gpu overheating, hopefully you didnt do any permanent damage to it.

I just checked the fan and it is running. This ****in blows... I can\'t believe $400 down the drain... so ****ing unfair.. The first game I try to play that actually needs the power messes it up..

« **Reply #13 on:** November 19, 2004, 10:43:27 AM »

why don\'t you just RMA it and get another one? Where did you buy it from?

« **Reply #14 on:** November 19, 2004, 12:24:23 PM »

RMA??? I think I might have to.. I just switched in another video card and this one works so it\'s definitely my X800.. I got it from CyberPower PC so I\'ll just have to call them and tell them what happend..
