    Hi,

    I used to have this problem before, but then somehow it stopped. It started again after I reinstalled my Omega 6.03 drivers and I don't know what to do.

    Basically what happens is after hibernate, and only sometimes (most of the time), when the image comes back, my wallpaper is all lines, and sometimes pictures have fuzzy dots on them, and some text on websites doesn't even show up! If I try and start a 3D app that just crashes to the desktop before it starts as well. Resetting the driver with Ati Tray Tools usually does nothing although sometimes it works to fix it. This is really weird.

    What could it be?

    I can see that you have overclocked/downclocked your videocard (signature). Try your default clocks, maybe that will help. But first try another driver, the new 6.9 drivers should work good.

    If new drivers dont work, try Windows Update. Maybe there is a hotfix for your problem.

    Good suggestions but I'm not running overclocked. In fact, I am in powerplay. Just bothering me because with these same drivers it had stopped (until I reinstalled them)

    Try a different driver set.

    I had a similar problem on my old Gateway 7510GX.
