Uston I have a porblem something very wrong with my (hardly 3 months old ) vid card:
Actually I think the card is overheating since the heatsink is lazy (any kind of real fan would spin, not just sit there )... oh well I'd better let it cool down now.
No real point in this post - just sharing my frustrations
Is this only in moha or any game? How is your computer handeling 'normal' graphic, like windows applications and such (2d, 3d apps)?
Do you get the same problem? Also have changed any settings on your gfx card (played around with the gfx card software)...
just trying to help ya
I appreciate that but this happens when playing any game or other opengl app, even under linux Otherwise (i.e. desktop and normal apps) it's fine though
It always happens after a while - first few minutes it's ok and then it goes completely screwy (it flashes very rapidly so it's even worse than on the screenshot )
Looks like it is overclocked to me. If it is only 3 months old the company that made it will send you a new fan. The fan on my "Xtacy" Gforce3 Ti500 card was making noise, so I email them and asked If I could buy a new fan--added my address. They sent me a new one (with instructions on how to install it) for free without even asking how old my card was.

I have found that hardware manufacturers are often very accomodating if you contact them.
I had a broken monitor that was a couple years old, it was taking up space so gave it to my friend, he called the people, think it was Belinea or something ( cheap monitor ) they shipped a new one to him no questions asked, took a couple of days. Since then the montior broke a couple more times and they always send him a new one. I wish now I had kept it and called them myself and saved myself from buying a new one.
Indeed the monitor I bought to replace that one I gave away went blurry after a yr I guess, again the manufacturer shipped me a new one ( I think reconditioned ) with no hassle at all.
Email ATI jv, I bet they fix you up with no trouble at all.
Philip II of Macedon sent a message to Sparta:
"If I win this war, you will be slaves forever."
The Spartan ephors sent back a one word reply: "If".

I read somewhere that the newest ATI drivers are causing overheating problems!!!!! So, you might want to install the old drivers until they work it out.
