Screwy graphics, Geforce 7600 Go

[Indo784]

Alright, I'm having trouble with my graphics card (i'm guessing). I have a Geforce Go 7600 with a gig of ram in my Alienware 51-M. I updated the drivers to version 163.76. I've included a picture to show what I'm talking about, as trying to explain it is difficult. I was in the options menu for Hellgate: London. I can't figure out why its doing this. I also just reformated my computer. I've reformated other computers before and this kind of thing hasn't happened.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance..

Wow, what a mess :S

Is your card overclocked? I got those strange blu lines too (down in the screen) when i overclocked too much my 8600m gt.. But didn't get all that scary stuff on the screen O_O

Nope, its not overclocked, at least I didn't overclock it myself. All i've done is install drivers. I really don't have any idea what it is..

It looks like the card has overheated at some point in time, at least just from looking at the picture. Artifacting like that is usually a classic case.

How old is this laptop / video card?
