Multicoloured squares on textures in games.

[G66]

Hi guys.. not posted here in a long while but I wonder if you can help.

On my old system i have:

X2 3800+ ~2ghz
3GB DDR800
7900GS.

Suddenly a month ago the GPU seemed to give up and die with crazy texture bugs appearing in games.

I replaced the GPU with a brand new XFX HD 4850. I reformatted and installed all drivers etc.

Games work fine, but I just noticed the occasional Mulicoloured square glitch thing appearing in levels. This happens in both Crysis, Eliteforce II (OpenGL)... though i tried the Unigine Heaven and tropics benchmarks and they were fine. Is this a problem with the gpu? or is there something wrong with the PSU thats killing the texture memory on the GPU? or could this be a simple driver problem? any help would be greatly appreciated!

try reinstalling the game itself

That's pretty fucking cool.

Test the GPU for stability, I'd try a nice long run on furmark to see if high temps are causing artifacting. Post back with results.
