guild wars freaking out

[Dilmog]

Hey, whenever i play guild wars for around 30 minutes to an hour, objects just start to freak out. like, people turn totally black, objects flash, floor turns invisible, etc. i was wondering what the problem with this could be? so if you could tell me that would be cool. thx

Are you overclocking your videocard?
And how are your System temps? It could be that your videocard is getting overheated by GW... Do you play any other games, and if so, do any of them show similar symptoms?

Lastly, if you'd post your specs and the graphics driver version, it'd be helpful.

my video card is an nvidia fx 5200, and no it is not overclocked. currently, my coumputer is pretty bad. i have an amd xp 1700, not overclocked, 768 mb of pc 2700 ram, but one 256 stick is pc 3200. my power supply is 250 watts, and my case has no fans, but i have a fan hooked on my processor, and the 5200 has a fan on it. but my computer hits temperatures like 111 degreese fahrenheit, which is not good.

One thing you might want to test then, is if it'll work better with the case open.
And if you have a table fan (or any other sorth without heating) available position it so that it blows into the case. This should increase the airflow and reduce the heat considerably.

Does this fix the problem?

actually i didnt try, and dont plan to, because i just finished ordering all of the parts for my new computer, and should arrive on friday, which is when i will build, and i have more than enough cooling in my new case (tsunami dream: 2 120 mm fans, 1 90 mm fan) but i might try running it open if i have time. thx anyways :wave:

You're welcome!

And enjoy your new system!
