Horrible corruption - Help!

[antagonist 0]

Hi!

I sometimes have horrible issues with screen corruption in ArmA. Most suggest that it's my video card dieing, but there are no other symptoms in any other games or applications, and my video card temperature is stable.

I'm currently running at Intel Core 2 Duo E6300, Nvidia GeForce7950GT, with 163.44 drivers.

Can anyone offer any advice or methods of solving this problem? It occurs on all resolutions except 640x480 (no idea why).

Check GPU temps...

Could be a driver problem... if it happens imediatly after you launch the game i doubt its overheating.

If it happens using the latest fw driver for your vc try rolling back.

Some settings might be pushing your video card too much, like shadows, post processing, etc.

From what I've seen, those kind of corruption issues are only caused by a couple things:

• The default clock frequency set too high for 3D Apps. Did you ever OC it?

• Driver issues. Completely remove drivers. Reinstall.

• Your video is overheating or ready to bite it.

Question: Did you have problems with a previous driver version? -> Install those.

Use this to check your temps
