Hello all, I recently upgraded my computer to AMD 64 3200+, gigabyte k8 triton mobo, 1.5 gig of ram, and a BFG 6600GT. When i load games like Need for speed underground, or FEAR, after a while the graphics will turn into little purple and green squares. this only happens when i'm in medium quality (for fear) and high quality for nfs. Just wondering if anyone has had this problem and how could i possibly fix it. I have all up to date drivers and so forth. Not too sure how else to explain my problem, hope it helps.

Can you post a screenshot for us?
My first guess would be your graphics card is overheating. Try opening up the case and blowing a house fan on the card to see if this temporarily fixes the problem as a test.
Second guess is your power supply isn't up to the task. How many watts and who made the PSU?
Third guess is your graphics card is toast, but as it only happens after a while (and not all the time) I doubt this is the case.
Fourth guess is... I have no fourth guess. Sorry only three guesses. I wish I had four. Four guesses are so much cooler than three. Can you tell I have a day off today and some time on my hands?

lol i see that, too bad no 4th guess, woulda been more helpful :haha: My PSU is 400w and i dunno who makes it. I hope my card isn't toast, i just traded in one for this. It happened to my other 6600GT but it wasnt BFG it was gigabyte (I think). Just a question do you know what i mean by the purple and green squares.
Alrighty, I haven't tried the fan. But when I was tryin to get the sqaures to show, they would after like 10-15 mins of playing, but when I shrunk down to talk on msn or something they would seem to dissappear for the time being. theres the picture (hopefully it worked) I wish there were more squares but imagine the little ones taking the whole screen up..talk about annoying :dead:
