I'm having this weird video problem with corrupt images.
I see disapearing backgrounds and stuff with lots of lines everywhere

Screen shots:
shot 1
shot 2
shot 3
shot 4

Specs:
- Athlon XP 2200+
- ATi Radeon 8500 64mb
- 1GB of PC2700 DDR Ram
- MSI motherboard
- Windows XP SP1

I have directx 9.0, version 4.5 for catalyst driver, latest unreal 2004 patched installed.
I took anti-aliasing, and vsync off for Direct3D and OpenGL.
I put the bar all the way to performance for the 3D settings in the advanced settings.

Anyone have any idea? Thx
 
That is what happens when the card is overclocked too much. I never overclock video cards because of all the strange behavior that happens (seems like all the time), a lot more trouble than it is worth.
 
It can also happen w/o overclocking, its a general heat problem. make sure your fan is running.
 
supposely UT2004 takes alot of juice to run adn if you overclock it can cause problems. Me know this cause I play competitvely and I usually tweak everything so i can get the most fps and what not.

I use to get a similar problem in BF Vietnam, but I had to use their specific drivers for it, but with the newest Nvidia ones, it liked to crap out on me.

No o/c either, it was driver specific
 
I never overclocked the videocard at all. Maybe I should clean the inside of the computer a bit to get a bit more air flow to cool it down.

Could it also be some feature in the video settings for Unreal I should turn off?
 
This can happen if you overclock or not. Try getting the latest patches for the games as well as the latest video card drivers.

Make sure that your chipset drivers are up to date as well.
 
Cleaning the insides of your system will likely help. You'd be amazed at how much dust can accumulate (Especially if you have a lot of fans, which tend to drag it in from the outside environment).

I've got a lot of dust in mine at the moment...I'm about to completely disassemble it and go at it with a few cans of compressed air. Dust really bogs down system performance because of all the heat that it absorbs.
