video card problem

Post by Qwazy »

While playing graphic intense games like quake3, unreal tournament, counterstrike, and tony hawk's pro skater. In the middle of my monitor a white box flashes, it doesnt take up the whole screen, and its only there for a split second. This thing flashes about every 30 seconds, it is extremely annonying, i am really tired of seeing it.


any comments or ideas welcome.

Has this been a recurring problem or did this just start happening? Have you done anything new to your system lately? Check for updated Video drivers and make sure that that you're not stressin out your monitor or video card by setting the resolution too high.

I know i have been having the problem for awhile, the lowest setting i have tried is 1024 x 768, but i usually run games at 1280 x 1024, I recently replaced my motherboard, but i cant remember if the problem happened before then or not.The problem occurs in both settings. Not in windows just games. I have tried different drivers, several of them. I'll go try some games at lower resolutions, but i dont think i am really stressing it or anything. I have an extra fan on it.
