    Hi,

    I got this ATI 4650 MXM II DDR2 1024MB in my Compal FL90.

    I get some flickering (black horizonal lines at random places), mostly in 3D mode, only very very few times in 2D mode, if ever.

    I am 100% sure that it is related to the video card only, as the same happens in another Compal FL90, and other video cards work in both machines. I also have another 4650 that works well for month in my FL90 (yes, I got a lot of Compal FL90s, hehe).

    I never played games with it, only did furmark benchmark so far.

    Temps are okay, upper 80s under full load, 50s in idle.

    Card broken? If so, any chance to fix it?

    Thanks in advance!

    Cheers
