Graphics Problem

Garry's Mod general
#1

So I have a few screenshots of the problem. It happens in every source game, but more so in Garry’s Mod. It recovers after a minute or so but is very annoying. Help appreciated!:cheers:

Anything else you need? Just ask! =D

Well, your PC configuration :stuck_out_tongue:

#3

Graphics card specs, most importantly. Although at least yours appears to support dx9, so that’s good.

#4

He’s propably running an Intel GMA, in which case he’s fucked.

#5

It appears to run fine, but having aero on is a no-no for games. Go into fullscreen and see if that works.

#6

Happens in full screen as well, and I have a Geforce 8800GTX.

#7

Huh. Does it happen in any other graphics-intensive, non-source engine games?

#9

Try to update your graphic card drivers.

Did that and nothing.

Well I found the problem. My GPU gets to 110 FUCKING DEGREES! :wtc: When it hits 110, the problem occurs. So, I suspected that it might be this retard fan that was put in the worst place on the motherboard for a fucking gaming motherboard. On the chipset blowing all the CPU heat and Chipset heat to the fucking GPU. Good design. So I remove that and the temps are about 5 degrees cooler and so far no more bug. So, I will address the cooling issues later and probably get some new more powerful fans or a new case.
