Hey, I have this problem you see. Usually I can play runescape on HD and anti-aliased 4x. But now when i play it on 4x the screen freezes goes for a moment like a scribbled screen and then turn backs on.I can play it on anti aliased 2x. And the same thing is with Vista chess game. It does the same thing. I have ATI Radeon 3600 HD series. I have updated the drivers but it doesnt help.

Hi, I am back. Got the screenshot with GpuZ. But if I tried Everest and i clicked on the sensor the page was just blank. Just in case i put the Everest screenshot too. But I don't think it is a much of a heat problem. But I just remembered something. The computer's umm.. electricity block or something like that its the thing that brings the higher electricity to lower...erm-I am not so good with "computer english". It burned out because there were voltage jumping. So my family replaced it with a new one. And maybe from that time the problem is occuring. I suppose it's a option too.
I have tried the reinstall option but it doesn't help.
Thanks,

leave speedfan running minimized in the system tray...play your game with 2X AA for ten minutes or so...bring up speedfan and get a screenshot...then try 4X AA for a few minutes and get a screenshot of speedfan again
post both screenshots

[rei158]

Got the screenshot with 2X AA. But the problem is when I play Runecape with 4X the screen immediately freezes and scrambles. It's like white lines and black lines but mixed. And same with Vista chess. On maxed graphics it immediately freezes and scrambles too. I have to a little bit back of the graphics and the game works. So far I haven't got problems with other games. I don't want to do that again but if I must then I will because one time the vista theme was blurry all over the place.

the little fire on the 2 temp shows something is getting hot...
try everest again...this time make sure you click on sensor...it should turn dark indicating you have selected it...

[rei158]

Still it doesn-t show anything. Hmm. about the hot... I can boost the fan up a little in the BIOS. I tooked it a bit down becaused it made alot of noise

[happyrock]

yep... turning up the fan speed does make more noise
but I bet if you think back your problem started around that time..turn it up to see if your video card runs cooler and will allow you to use 4X AA...

[rei158]

No it didn't. Tried cooler but still. I'' try to describe it: I change it to 4X AA and then in a second the mouse freezes -technically the whole screen freezes and the screen goes black and blurry with white and black stripes for like 0.1 second. I don't like the look of this..

[rei158]

Hey, I did a little research of my own. I found the problem but like it's maybe with other games too. But I don't think it is overheating. Then it should happen with other games too, right? RS isn't very much to graphics. I think there is a problem deep inside the system.

that link said the cards affected did not include your video card...

[rei158]

Okay. But do you have a clue of the problem?

[happyrock]

if I had your system on my bench I would throw in a different video card and see if it had problems too...
I think its a overheating problem with the video card
