i'm totaly lost, i ve instaled lots of different catalyst to try to get rid of those glitch squares but i still have them. and i really dont know what to do now plz heeeeeelp
That looks like the card is artifacting Do you have it overclocked ? If it is still in warranty, return it, likely a VRAM issue
This is a long shot, but check that the cover that goes over the PCI-E slot has been taken off? I forgot to go this, and found it was stopping hot air being pushed out of the back of the case.
i have an old (4 years old) alienware. anyway i didnt check inside the computer yet and you all seem to say thats where the problem comes from so i'll open it, clean everything and test again before i send it back. Thx for the advices.
Definitely its a problem with the GPU Vram. Those are glitches, similar to those happening when you oc your card at higher values. Anyway since you're at stock clocks i think that the best thing to do is to RMA it asap.
i get these same thing except the squares are coloured, i have brand new 6970, it happens in most games right before freezing my computer.... its not oc so should i return it?
so far hawx 2 and minecraft...... my ram recently died, when it did i had this same prob, replaced with new ram now its happening again.
i ran hardware error check and it fixxed something i no longer have any problems.... still dont know what was wrong!!!!
I have the same in some games, the problem was wrong settings in ccc anti aliasing setting on edge detect try setting that to use application setting
i started getting the squares freezing every game again i finally found the problem, my cpu was overheating, fixed it and now all is good
This is what I have been saying for a long time, lots of these "catalyst 00.1 destroyed my pc" are often user errors (ie. not cleaning youre hardware now and then). I clean my pc atleast 2-3 times a year, because I want my hardware to be at max capasity.
