A weird bug

abyss91 · 11-20-2008, 10:28 AM

It all happened after my mother installed some crappy emoticons(smileycentral I believe was the program) for yahoo messenger about 3-4 days ago(don't ask why she did this because I have no clue and yes it was a dumb decision).
Whenever I play warcraft 3 for over an hour the screen turns black with some weird lights and then I see that in all of the games I start after.I made a screenshot in another game:

I currently own an Nvidia GForce FX5200 from 2006 and so far it hasn't shown any problems.

Basically the screen in w3 looks like the guy on the bike.

I'm sorry if this is the inappropriate section but I don't know where to ask this question.

If you have Ntune installed check the temps of the video card in the performance section.
You may want to blow out the dust bunnies from the card and the cpu heat sink with a can of compressed are available at office supply stores.

I cannot install Ntune.It gives me this error:
"This software requires Nvidia Nforce2 or Nforce3 motherboard to operate.No required products were detected.Installation will now be aborted".
And I have tried to clean it but it's still the same.It's really annoying :(

Try using speed fan> http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php

Also check in device manager for any yellow question marks.
