Flashing Textures

[RobbieHe 0]

I will be in FS9 for between a minute and sometimes 30 minutes and all of a sudden, I will see a slight flash go across my monitor and then textures will all jumble around as if in an acid trip. Airplane textures will appear on the terminals, building textures will become clouds, and random textures (flashing every second or so) will just spill onto each space in the FS9 scenery except where they need to be. It is bizarre! This did not happen until I added an upgrade bride card to my ASRock SATA2 board to add the Athlon X2 6400. FS9 seems to be the only problematic behavior I have.I have tried changing videocard drivers (am currently Nvidia 174.74s with my 8800GTS 384Mb videocard.Has anyone seen this before? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.RH

Take the cover off your computer case, wait a few minutes, then load up FS and see if that helps. Sounds like your card is overheating!
