Black lines diverging issues from objects in games

I currently have a problems in all my PC games where there are black lines diverging from certain objects in the game. It has happened in Galactic Civilizations 2, Wacraft 3, Guild Wars and the World in Conflict demo. I have the latest nvidia drivers for winxp pro. Anyone else knows what I should set to prevent this problem:

most likely overheating. Can you check your temps and tell us what they are? Also did you overclock anything? If so, i suggest you set everything back to default and see if it helps. But its most likely overheating, or driver issue.greatmax1

My current GPU temp is 62C, it goes around 68C when I play games. My graphics card is OC by default, it's the 7900 GT/GTO. Do you know how I can check if my current card is really OC, if it is, how do I turn it off?

Its your graphics card.I used to have the same exact problems with my 7900gt OC. It's just going to get worse from here on out, so i suggest getting a new video card.

That sucks, the games were playing well for a good 15 months with that card. It seems to be happening for games only, everything else is fine though. I think I'll just move to PS3 gaming this year.radiocreed

PS3?? Why would you do something like that... Get a PS2 if you go with playstation.. It's cheaper and it doesn't suck.. (they actually have games for it!!)

Yeah, I remember all the talk way back about the 7900GT having voltage problems when overclocked even a little beyond stock, thus causing similar problems to overheating. That's why I made sure mine was at all stock speeds when I bought it.

I already have a PS2 for the last 2 years, I've exhausted the games I want to play on it + the games are not looking so hot on my HDTV. I just want a PS3 for Tekken 6 and the other fighting games on it.

this geme it not cool with me....:(
