For some reason today, when I load graphic intensive apps (i.e. games), the textures will flash with checkered boxes then my system will crash. I have updated my gfx drivers but problem still occurs. I used dxdiag to test my Direct3D and DirectDraw and no problems found. I thought it was the specific game, but found out it was all games that I tried. It was working fine yesterday. I don't think the gfx card is overheating either. What can I do to fix it? RE: Graphics card issue by Chris4 on 03-06-2008 at 07:55 PM
You could always try older graphics drivers, in case the new ones are messing it up. RE: Graphics card issue by Reaper on 03-06-2008 at 08:03 PM
