Hi guys and gals,
Seem to have a bit of a problem with my graphics card, whenever I run Unreal Tournament 2004 my screen seems to go all 'fuzzy' after bout 15 mins. I can just make out where the buttons are to restart after that its fine till i play again. But now it has started briefly (1 sec) going 'fuzzy' on boot up too! its like a tv with no signal?!
Anyone got any ideas, my computer is newly built too!

MSI K7N2 Delta Series Motherboard (NVIDIA nForce 2 Based)
AMD Athlon XP 2600+
Hercules 3D Prophet 7500 128MB AGP
1GB Ram
2x 80GB HD's

Any Help would be much appricated. Cheers

i don't really know if this is the problem but i've heard that ut 2004 is really intense on graphics so maybe the video card is getting to hot and the signal isn't getting processed right and whenever you quit, it takes the load off of the card allowing it to cool down. i wouldn't know why it would do it during the booting process if that was the case though.

Make sure that the monitor cable is secure first. Reinstall the drivers second. If you are overclocking your video card, back it down. Make sure the fan on your graphics card is still working. Try to make sure there is no other card right below the video card slot. Try those and see if anything helps.

Dean was asking if you are overclocking your video card. Same thing I said in my post.

Did you check all those things that I posted? If you make sure that the fan is working and that there is no card under it I dont know why it would be overheating, unless youve got a bum card.
