I seem to have a problem with my (about) 6 month old AIW 9800 pro.
Whenever I try to run halo pc, or the demo for UT2004, (or even the
screen saver that came with the card) I get these terrible looking
black or white or sometimes silverish streaks that appear and
dissapear very quickly and randomly about the screen. I didn't have
this problem until I downloaded and installed the demo for Unreal
Tournament 2004. At first it started out as somthing kinda tollerable,
and I only saw 1 streak about every 10 min I played, then it started
to get progressivly worse the more I played, now I see 1 about every
second. The streaks seem to come alot more when I play multiplayer on
Halo or the UT2004 demo online, and very rarley do I see any when I
play Halo single player. I have had this problem for about a week now,
and have put all of the settings as low as they go, played around with
a few things in the Open GL and Direct 3D and still I have not been
able to get rid of those streaks!! I wiped out my old winXP Pro today
and reinstalled it under a brand new raid, (I bought one new raptor,
and the other two are the older ones I kept from when this terrible
problem arose). Reinstalled my videocard first, then very next thing
was halo, ...still have the streaks...Then I decided that maybe if
just updated everything then it would go away. After updating
everything I could, I still have those streaks. So now I'm lost and
whenever my screen saver popps up (ati caves)I have to look at those
annoying streaks. I only get this problem when I do intesive stuff,
(ironicly I have no problems with Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3) So that
leads me too believe that maybe when I downloaded UT2004 (cuz thats
when things started to go bad) the AIW couldn't take it and this is
the beginning of my graphics card going bad. Or maybe there is a very
quick fix that someone will be able to tell me!!
P.S.
When I run dxdiag it says that no problems were found, but "AGP
Texture Acceleration: Not Available" <--could that be what's going
wrong, and how do I change it?
