    I'm getting major artifacting under any 3d graphics program on my G51 :( It's not usually large obnoxious artifacts, but small continuous flashes of random color, usually black or green it seems.

    It starts instantly, it's visible in the opening scenes of the 3DMark06 tests and really bad in the firefly scenes. It happens in game too. The highest temp I've recorded is 85c, which doesn't seem too unreasonable.

    Is there anything non-hardware that could cause this? I'm running Windows 7 64bit and have tried two different versions of the graphics driver with no improvement.

    Thanks,
    Nathan

    You can try using Driver Sweeper and doing a clean install of the stock driver that came with your system.
