Not sure how to describe this.
Basically, I was playing a game on my PC this evening, and the in game graphics bugged, some of the ground textures disappeared and my frame rate dropped to 2fps or something around that.
Haven't seen it happen before, so I alt+tab out to see if its just the game, which it appears it is.
So I quit, start it up again, and its fine for a few more hours. Then it goes again, but this time differently; hard to describe, the whole screen did a kind of Venetian blind effect, lines would stick and it was clearly a graphics bug... So again, I alt+tab out, and it seems fine, so I quit the game.
Open up Firefox to google the problem and there is pixels sticking almost like the Venetian blind thing, but just probably 6x6 pixel squares... all in the middle of the screen.
Its hard to explain so I tried taking a screenshot as best I could. First things that pop into my mind were overheating, but I have the Asus realtime Overclocking wotsit dooda in the spare CD drive bay which has a realtime display of clock speed, fan speed and temperature and they all seemed normal.
Yes I have got the latest drivers from Nvidia. The card itself is only about 9months old, and my monitor is about a week old.
My Spec is as follows:
AMD X2 4200+
1GB RAM
Asus A8N SLi-SE motherboard
Asus EN8600GT
Windows XP Pro
