    graphics problem

    This just started today and i've had no previous problems like this before .. but when explosions happen and you get the "screen rattle and blurry vision" it cuts my screen diagonally in half and the top half is fine and the bottom half is frozen graphics which makes it completely unplayable. any sugjestions would be awesome thanks.

    what are your system specs? have you recently installed any new drivers for the gfx card?

    To me this sounds like either the gfx card is overheating, or is faulty.

      specs are pentium 4 3 ghz , 1 gb ram , radeon 9600 256mb ... i had considered my card overheating and i might try taking the case off for extra ventilation but my fans on max ( i have an external fan control on my case ) .

          Regardless of this it still should not do what he says. if anything there should be a slowdown not messed up graphics.

          Taking off the side panel can make things overheat more as you are disrupting the airflow, have you tried buying a can on compressed air & squirting it on the fans in your pc, as there maybe alot of dust on the components in the case causing heat problems all round

            Thanks Tonic , i took off the side panel and cleaned out my computer with compressed air and all has been well. Hopefully the problem is fixed , i still don't know if it was my graphics card because when i took my case off right after the problem was accuring i touched the side of my videocard and it wasn't warm to the touch at all . so who knows but since it's not doing it anymore i'm happy.
