Hello all

i just joined and was wondering if people would help me on my problem. i started getting my problem 1-2 weeks ago or so. i've started seeing artifacts in a game, then it spread to all my games, i had updated drivers for my card which is ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 mb and for chipset, but didn't fix it. so i re-formated which didn't fix it either.

My spec are:

AMD ATHLON MOBOLITY 2500+ 1.8Ghz
NFII ULTRA INFINITY
ATI RADEON 9800 PRO 128 MB
512 MB RAM
Windows Xp Sp2 (fresh install)

please help me

If you are seeing artifacts in your games then there may be an issue with the card itself; it might be overheating. Have you ever overclocked the card before? There may be a cooling issue or a problem with the card's video memory.
