Graphics card about to die?

Featured Replies

Fired up FS9 for the first time in weeks and noticed that the graphics are looking a bit dodgy. There are all these tiny blocks of colour all over the screen that move at random, kind of like snow. The rest of the display is fine and my computer works fine on ever other program I ues. The graphics in FS9 were fine when I last used it any I have latered nothing since then.Here is a screenshot.fsscr000-25.jpgThe arrows are pointing to some of the blocks of colour that apprear to be out of place but there are lots more than just those with arrows. It looks like the blocks are the same colour as other bits of the display and are out of place. :( ie some are like the same colour as the sky and some are the colour of the grass.Update - I just installed the latest drivers and if anything it's worse.Any ideas what's causing this?

If the blocks are only appearing when running FSX, it could be an indication of overheating problem. You may want to dust out your video card fan.If the same blocks appear right when you start your system, then you may be in for a new graphics card.Gerald R
