    That looks cool!!! Try a different driver and see if it does anything

    get the latest 169.04 drivers for www.laptopvideo2go.com

    If that doesn't work, download Riva tuner and make shure your card isn't somehow freakishly overclocked by checking the clocks and temperature log.
    Looks like either a bad driver, or unstable memory on the video card.

    is tht driver compatibale with xp?? as i am not using vista.

    i have overclocked my GPU, but only by a small ammount as i selected "detect optimal frequencys" on the overclocking menu for the graphics card:

    Original Currently
    core clock frequency - 450 Mhz 466 Mhz
    memory clock freq - 350 Mhz 394 Mhz

    I have monitered the tempreatures using pc wizard 07 before and after and the max it usually reached is 65 celcius after playing crysis.

    Have you tried removing the OC and then check what happens?

    i put the clock settings to defualt and all was ok, i still get the annoying streaks, but it was only minor. i will check it out properly tonight with a few other games as i have so much work to do for uni :( also will look into a new driver..was rading abount the 169.04 having problems with using an external monitor through DVI...and i am planning to get a 22" samsung, so will look for another alternate that should work ok.

    thanks unknown555525
