    Bought about 1 year ago, was trying to start up Black and White 2 when i get really spikey cones etc sticking out of all the surroundings, followed by red checkers down the screen, when the game is quit, it carries on to the computer where i am flushed with lines of checkers down the screen. Any ideas?

    card might have borked. Have you restarted your machine?

    Yes, i've tried updating all components of my computer with the latest drivers and i've tried to reduce heat to the card as much as possible. It only seems to happen either directly on start-up or if the computers been on for a while..

    Is it happening if the game is not run? Have you tried other games?

    Download Ati tool. Run Scan for artifacts at stock settings and kepp an eye on the temps. 80s are bad 90s really bad and over you are killing your card.
