# This messes with my head

Just think of the consequences: are we have 'All hail E.T.' or 'Vigo phone home' movies now?

# that film would've been so much better if ET looked like either of those.
but which is better? HUMAN-FACED TORSO ALIEN or STYLISH HUMANOID ET-FACE?

# Nice one.
TJ: Can anyone tell me what the fuck is happening to my COD4? Linky
No mods installed, graphics card at 42c (38c when not gaming) low fps,
will blank out screen then fill with odd 3d scribbles then crash if running game for more than a few seconds. :(

Also happens in other games but I cant get screenshots before my computer freezes.

# Did you feed your computer LSD?

Nice effects though. I bet certain people over here could collect quite a few woos for posting filtad stuff like that.

# Yes it is very pretty,
but it will also stretch textures all over the place, flicker about and generally make games unplayable.

# actually, I wonder if it's driver stupidity aswell
I do recall that for a few versions the graphics on an old 440mx the graphics were fucked up all over the place

# update your graphics card drivers.
or, if you're at the latest, downgrade them.

edit: what is your graphics card?
(, Sat 10 May 2008, 15:11, archived)
# Nvidia 7900 gt
I got the latest drivers after it first started about a month ago.
When these failed to fix it I downgraded and upgraded
to several different versions without success :(
It is gradually getting worst too.

I suspect the card is dying but I cant think of a viable reason for it to.
Annoyingly it is now out of warranty.

# It seems to be a common problem with 7900 cards.
Nvidia have not released a fix or even appear to have acknowledged it :(

Probably because if the cards are faulty it would mean a massive recall and refunds for all.

# My (6600GT) graphicss card went spazzy when playing fast games
due to its cooling fan failed


but it was ok the rest of the time

# if I remember rightly, the 7900 cards die quite easily.
Time for an upgrade for you, it seems :3

# ^^^ there seems to be some issue with 7900's
in that some folk complain of them shitting themselves

fan failures notwithstanding there seems to be some issue that'll never be fixed with them

# Does it do that with all the games or just that one?

# The more graphically intensive the game,
the more it happens.

Oblivion: TES is probably the worst for it.

Half-Life 2 sometimes does it too.
