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

edit: what is your graphics card?

# 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.

# 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.
