    Could you give us the maker and details, like power and amp (12V), of your power supply?

    It's a HKC USP 5580. The specs can be read on a sticker that's on the psu, posted a photograph on http://www.happypanda.nl/psu.jpg. It says 30A on the rails I guess. Only PSU I have for testing purposes is my old one, a 400W with 8 and 14 A on the 12V rails, so I think that PSU wouldn't be of any use, would it?

    Thanks again for the reply, it's much appreciated!

    Edit: I just reinstalled drivers (9.7 beta again) and the game seems to be running fine (played for half an hour / 45 minutes or so)... tomorrow wil probably be the moment of truth as I'll be cooping the best part of the day :) I'll let you know.

    Edit2: Got the same artifacts within a few minutes, when playing this morning... so should be either my video card or my psu I guess, as nobody else seems to be having these problems.

    Edit3: Get the artifacts in Furmark and AtiTool Artifacts test too now, so THIS problem is NOT a problem in Arma2. Thanks for all the help, I'll be contacting the shop I bought the parts from.

    Info about temps

    Very interesting, I have had a few dots but nothing as bad as that. Sometimes I get a few square pixels just off screen as I turn in busy towns but they are def. text load failures.

    Those small dots do not look like the original post that this thread is about, so I can suggest checking to see if the card is overheating and cleaning the fan out / reseating the card (in joke :D lol).

    So this probably indicates a broken video card? Have to say I just got the thing delivered last thursday :j: I tested with Furmark, 3dMark vantage, GRID and COD4 and couldn't reproduce the error... guess I'll be calling the shop I bought it from on monday.

    It's a shame that there are these kind of bugs, as it gets more difficult to see whether an error is Arma-related or is simply caused by bad hardware...

    Thanks for the reply. In case you (or anybody) can advise some good programs to test for faulty hardware (stresstest?), dont hesitate!

    Edit: the card is not overheating. ATI overdrive (not overclocked of course) shows 75 degrees max, which seems alright.

    I have troubles too. My specs:

    CPU: E8400

    RAM: 4GB 800mhz

    GPU: MSI R4870HD 1GB

    Drivers: 9.7 beta

    Problem is, I seem to be having problems that differ from what I have seen thus far. I made video's, posted them on YouTube:

    - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-On8TJB_Wb0

    - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YPcBagyFuA

    In the first video and the first part of the second video, green dots can be seen that look like dead pixels, but they are moving. In reality the effect is worse the it looks on the video's. The dots look like http://www.playtool.com/pages/artifacts/screen0032fh.jpg, only in this screenshot there are more artifacts.

    I'd say artifacts caused by the videocard, but it might be the game. Can play GRID and COD4 for multiple consecutive hours, not having any trouble, only ARMA2 has this problem.

    Anybody else have this particular problem?
