spikey graphics

ever since i have had PES 6, it would on occaisson produce a huge spike of colour that protruded from the player itself, as if it was a massive stick attacthed to the player, the same colour as where it was attatched. however, it has now begun happening in other games, battle for middle earth 2 and world in conflict suffers terribley from it. as a result, i haven't even finished the dtutorial; i tried the main stroy and it was no better. at one point, all i could see was a mass of multi couloured strips covering my screen, all sticking out of an object.

i dont know weather its a hardware problem, or perhaps my drivers, but if anyone knows what to do any help would be much appreciated. ive got a screen shot of some examples below

i tried cleaning it off, and it definately reduced the effects, but it still has some problmes.

how do i do a full hard reset of the cmos?

Do you have a 79xx series card? If you do, then just RMA the card. It's a known issue, and you just have to hope the replacement lasts a bit longer before it artifices again.

Contact your manufacturer and you should be entitled to a replacement. :)

wait, its not nvidia i need to contact is it :oops:

should i go to the card manafacturer or the people who made my pc?
