astrial Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hi guys, my laptop spec is on the left... The driver i use is 175.12 for Vista x64... The 8600M GS is a GDDR3 version, core/shader/RAM @ 500/1000/700 default, no overclock was made... Recently the monitor filled with artifact (whole screen) while i was playing games... Games that i played are R6:Vegas 2, CnC3:Kane's Wrath, Cabal Online, KartRider, Trackmania Nation Forever. The artifact appeared while i was playing Trackmania... since then, it will appear after playing a game for sometime... Now i am suspecting that the GPU overheated, but the laptop doesn't feel hotter than normal... and i can't check for the temp of the GPU, even with ATi Tool or GPU-Z, so i cannot confirm my suspicious... Any comments guys?? Btw, i ve juz installed 175.80 and see how it goes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
