Well if I had somewhere to upload a screen shot I would, which makes it that much odder that i can screen shot whats happening, whenever I play any OpenGL games or demos, my computer just reboots and shows off very inverted and F***ed up colors... Q3 crashes everytime about 30secs into it, D3 takes more about 15 min, while a 4 year old OpenGL demo takes half a second... I dont know whats going on. UT2004 hasnt done it yet, but I havnt really played it for over 5 minutes. Anybody have any idea what might be happening?

HIS Excalibur Radeon 9800 Pro IceQ
nForce 2 8RDA3I

Thx in advance, oh and by the way, I dont think its my bard considering I just got a new one from newegg, new one in means of a RMA.

P.S.- If anyone wants to see screenshot or can host it for me, ill e-mail it to you
 
An overheated or underpowered card can do that. what kind of temps are you getting? and what kind of power supply do you have?
 
how do you measure tempratures witha 9800 pro?


Also have you unistalled and re-installed your drivers lately?
 
Im not sure of the power supply, my brother built this computer for me and he builds computers for a living, so Im almost sure it isnt the power supply, but I will check it out. I dont know my temps, but it isnt over clocked at all and I do have the IceQ, which I thought was above average cooling? Yes I did uninstall my old drivers and reinstall new ones... maybe I messed up somewhere, I will do it over again. Thanks for the help. You guys have any idea why its solely OpenGL?
