Im not sure how to properly describe what im seeing, so instead of trying to babble on for about 20 minutes, ill just post a youtube-quality video : Video from oblivion
If you notice in the lower left-hand corner of my screen, you can see I have fraps running. At first when I noticed this problem, I hit F9 to record (FPS display turns red during recording). During recording, these random green squares dissapear completley.
System spec's :
Athlon 64 3000+ (Winchester core, no its not overclocked)
Gigabyte Geforce 6600GT 128MB PCI-Express (NO, its not overclocked either)
Gigabyte GAK8NF-9
Windows XP Home
Mushkin 2x512 DDR400
Sparkle 300W PSU
Ive had this box since late 2004/early 05. Aside from some problems with shadows in farcry (shadows would render as giant rectangles with max graphics settings), I had no other problems. I finnaly got ahold of another copy of oblivion after losing my copy, I noticed it seems to crash when it senses I havent saved in the past 20 seconds... It crashes often... every half hour I would say, sometimes it will go for 2 hours without a crash if im lucky. Nothings changed as far as hardware goes, the same old crap thats been in there since I bought it.
Anyways, Its now doing this in Scarface. Only for the water/ocean, I will have horrible amounts of these green squares flashing around on the waters surface, nowhere else. GPU temp isnt going much above 60-65C, cpu temp is barely 30C at full load.
Any ideas on where I should go from here? I would like to solve this problem.
