What The F*? ( 56k'ers dont open this )

[ECA]

Ok this happened the other night and I thought it was because i'd been doing some v heavy on the ram video editing.

Anyway tonight it happens again and i managed to screeny it.

Basically something is causing the following to happen.

Does anyone have ANY idea what this could be?

Is the answer billion year old engine running a buggy mod?

 

[Testin da Cable]

is your poota/gfx card overclocked and/or overheating?

I used to get tearing like that when I seriously oc'd my old XP1800+

 

[~YuckFou~]

Overheating would seem to be the most obvious answer.

I think he means that someone appreciates his opinion and agrees with him.....

 

[Testin da Cable]

either that or what scooba said

 

[xane]

Hey is that Quake or Quake II ?

 

[ECA]

my gfx/cpu are not oc'd in any way.

I agree its probably overheating/my gfx card going tits up.

Oh well.

H@X TBH,

I can't believe no-one else put this.

hmm its happening in other games as well.

Also the screenshots only show one frame, the affected area changes every frame, so it looks about 20 times worse watching it than those screenshots can show.

Dektop etc. are all fine.

Take off the side, clear the slots around the gfx card, and let this thread drop. Even better, lock it yourself.

Any more problems, visit our offices in the hardware forum.

You get more responses in here :-]

Not everybody reads the hardware forums.

Also when i got back from work i did a little more investigation.

I had left the PC so it was *cold* when I booted up, immediately went online and launched into a server and the problem occured immediately.

Prior to booting up I also moved the lan card to the PCI slot furthest away from the AGP slot.

I also checked that all fans are working including the GPU fan.

Any ideas, or is the card just buggered?

PS: Its a geforece 4 mx 440.

I know the MX is poo but I wanted a cheapo card that would do untill I got a major upgrade.

You get the same number of helpful responses (its the same people) and less off-topic stuff.

But not necessarily helpful ones - see above.

True, but the people that do are the one's that matter in this case.

1. What if someone who has had the same problem reads general but not the hardware forum.

2. what xane said :-]

3. Its possible ( but unlikely ) its a software problem.

1. Then they are fools

2. *shrugs* Lock this one, start again, talk to someone who cares.

3. Its a technical forum.

 

[mank!]

You're supposed to post things in the relevant forum, which is why the powers that be created all the different subforums!

You have absolutely no reason to post this in general, I'm actually surprised nobody has had a bitch at you for doing so

 

[ECA]

[Scooba Da Bass]

PS your mum smells

PPS all of your relations smell

Can't be arsed to think of anything else.

[amobea]

could be a borked cpu also

you get problems like that when the video card can't iterface with the cpu properly due to cpu probs
