graphics issues. help.

I guess this picture says a thousand words of pain, im having errors like these in all games that I currently have installed. My drivers are up to date. Ive been suggested that my card is overheating and that I need to replace it for a new one, but im not too fond of that idea... any suggestions? thx.

Forgot to add that my card is Asus EAX1950PRO and that issues start appearing after some random time of playing the game, never immidiately when I start playing.

Check your GPU temps while playing.

It's time to change your VGA card.

I had the same problem and my ATI 9800 SE card eventually died. I am sorry to say this, but your card is probably already damaged beyond repair. Later on I came to know that these ATI cards have two power inputs, and my PC vendor connected only one, and thus the card was always underpowered. Also, you will need at least 450W power supply to run that card. How much have you been using? I'd also recommend a good cooling system. I use thermaltech 550W PSU and it works great with my current card, a nvidia 8600 GT. DeadManRollin

Thx for the info, my power supply is 500W so it should be enough for the card. However I have been tempering with one power input on my card, ill try to reconnect it. If the problem persists ill probably buy a new card. Thx for the info again.
