When Im playing the PC game Dark Messiah Might and Magic about half an hour into the game I start getting graphic glitches like yellow squares on screen.

Is there anyone else having problems with this game? If so please tell me about the problems you are having with this game.

Wrong forum but there is a graphics forum for these sorts of issues.

GeForce 8 drivers are still a little rough round the edges & DM was also a little buggy.

The latest GeForce 8 driver is 97.44

Finally if other software exhibits the problem it could be hardware but if not then is a driver issue & you will have to wait for the next driver release from NVIDIA as they are still ironing out the bugs in the GF8 drivers.

One other issue is it could be temperature related something is causing the GPU to get too hot after prolonged usage though putting 3DMark 06 on a looping run should either confirm or dismiss that theory.

I've played it on my 8800GTX and didn't experience any of those issues with either the current drivers, or the earlier ones. Do any other games show such artifacts?

Sounds like your 8800 is overheating. Try playing the game with the side planel of your case off.

If it stop now. you know you have a heat problem. So to sort this you have 2 choies.

1. Leave the side of the case off

2. invest in some new cooling. ie. Fans
