Hi, I have an ACER Aspire 1603LM with ATI RADEON Mobility 9000.
I love my laptop! I work with him and with the M9000 I can play all games that I want.

But when I have installed the Catalyst 3.9 (modded for laptop), after a game session with NWN, I saw many green, fucsia, white lines on the screen.
Now all the games are unplayable!
I returned back to the 3.7, it's worse! Too lines and lightening squares

Only in OGL (with the ogl patch drivers for COD) the problem is reduced but ever unsufferable.

After all my tests when I return back to desktop I see the lines also here!!!.

I often see the lines and the squares also to the start of the computer, and I must reboot while he becomes again normal (2-4 reboots)!!!

I have run the Artifact Test but it's all ok!

Finally I can work (with problems if the pc start with screen corruption) but I can't play the games!!!

What's happen?

Ciao, Andrea.

p.s.: sorry for my poor english!

"I have run the Artifact Test but it's all ok! "

that don't push it hard enough in my opinion.3dmark2k3 would be much better as it use graphical testing.

have you tried removing drivers then using drivercleaner.http://www.hardwareheaven.com/cleaner/ (go through thr read me before using) DO NOT USE BEFORE REMOVING DRIVERS.

see if that helps out your problem.

This mean that I see the display corruption also at the POST screen!!!
I think that a RAM chip is dead...
