Battlefield Modding Tutorials BFMODS

I think my video card is messed up.

I was playing '42 fine, then I close out, come back later, start up, and my screen is full of red pixels. I can still see and play the game, the majority is red.

However, when trying to take a Print Screen, the pictures comes out perfectly normal, no red at all.

When Im at my desktop, I see a normal desktop, but in some places, are lots of flickering red pixels.

I have Geforce 9800 GT

This only happens in DirectX and DirectDraw games.

Is it video card or monitor?

sounds like the video card is fried, i know nvidia had some problems with the solder in some in some batches

check the temperature on the graphiccard You should find one under the nVidia settings, Display Props>settings>advanced>nvidia>temps

if its high check that the fan working and also clean it for dust

it can also be the graphic drivers so try reinstall those first

edit: gpu temp program http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/

I reinstalled my drivers and directx.

I recently got a new motherboard.

Im using speedfan, and my GPU is 55C, normal.

However, two cores show up, one is 30C, on is 55C.

Hmm

Start the game in windowed mode. Just to see what happens.
