Driver/Card Problem?

Mushski · 09-09-2008, 01:22 PM

During games, once in a while, seemingly at random the display becomes... odd. I don't know how to explain it. Normally it happens when I play BF2. I have all the settings turned down to low on the game and using the NVIDIA configurations have swapped performance for quality. Sometimes it does it when I'm not doing anything. I have tried updating the drivers, tried restarting, everything. It just happens randomly. I can't describe what it does, so I've included some screenshots.

I am using a Peak NVIDIA GeForce 6200 256MB DDR2 AGP 8X
I am apparently using the most up to date driver recommended by NVIDIA and Windows Update: 7.15.11.7519

Thanks in advance,

Aaron.

usually caused by bad ram on the card
can you try it in another computer to check if it is the same

Really? I never thought of that. =S
It seems fine most of the time, it's just a minority of the time, which is still very annoying, because you just can't see anything.

And, um, not really, well I could but it'll be a while before I find a friend who will let me stick in my graphics card. XD

EDIT: Would you recommend a new graphics card?
