| Do you have any of the Doom or Quake series games? Those games are OpenGL, apparently with the VIA bug, only DirectX is affected. If those games run fine, then it really is the chipset problem.

As Lead Head said:::: So atleast check some other games, and if you keep getting these problems with the graphics, then you'll likely have to get a new motherboard that doesnt use a VIA chipset Pentium D 915|EVGA 7050 mATX|OCZ XTC 2GB|XFX 7900GS XT|Hyper Type-R 580W|Qmicra 2 Case | |

| Thats not good, that basically confirms if the only does that with DirectX games, and not OpenGL. You have tried downloading updated drivers from VIA, right? It looks like it may be time for a new motherboard. Opteron 64 165--1.5GB DDR--ECS KA1 MVP(thanks HL!)--x1800GTO 256MB--Seagate 320GB SATA--Antec 550 Watt--Antec P180 |
