XP worked.
Went back to Vista, happened again.

right....... so you dont get green artifacting on XP, but you do on vista.??

if this is the case it wont be heat related, but at the same time i have never known a driver to cause screen artifacts after 10+ mins of gaming..??

i will have a hunt about for a similar problem.....

SK

Thanks a lot.

Any news?

Let me know which drivers you've downloaded (number for instance catalyst 9.watever watever sorry i'd make reference to nvidia driver numbers but i mostly use ATI other then the integrated graphics on one of my other computers :P)

Yes, do you suppose it's a problem with that .dll file?

EDIT: This may be a DirectX 10 problem perhaps?
