Graphics Corrupted With Nvidia 7300 LE

[TakaShi^^]

NOTE* This is my cousin computer i am helping to post with my ragezone account

Hello everyone,recently i just bought a new cpu which is pentium D 3.0ghz, well everything was ok.. But when i start to play any game, it give a corrupted images. Up to now, i don't have no solution on how to solve it. I even contact my computer dealer to ask for an exchange of graphics card. I change about 2-3 times but the same old problem again. I was wondering anyone that would roughly know the answer and help me out.

( IMAGES ATTACHED BELOW )

The thing i have tested and it shouldn't be a problem is

Monitors ( Philips 19 inch and 17 inch ) Both are working fine but still have the same graphic corrupted images.

I believe the main problem was the graphic card itself, but after changing for 3 times, i realise it was not. Anyone can help ?

u need to uninstall ur drivers... and reinstall them...

first uninstall ur drivers from add/remove in control panel... (look for nvidia drivers)...onces drivers uninstalled reset comp----> and run driver cleaner and clean nvidia (there are many nvidia options just look for the graphic or just nvidia if i can remember non else) clean it 2/3 times ... reset comp again-----> and install clean nvidia drivers from nvidia website... should fix the problem if it dont post again

Hellos just tested and it's not working.. any other solution?

Video RAM corruption.

Check to ensure the GPU is not overheating and clear of dust.

...and if it's your monitor, we wouldn't be able to see it in the screenshots... think about it.

My 7600GS doing same thing. but only ingame. if i play one game more than 5minutes then Graphics Corrput Everything goes crazy. i tested everything

I am pretty sure its your drivers.. please make sure you uninstall ALL of them, then get the latest proper drivers from nvidia.com.


If this isnt the problem, then there is a major fault with some of yoru components, and if you exchanged it several times already, then it HAS to be your drivers.

ok thanks i will try until it works

 

[deadly2003]

to be honest i think u guys are installing the wrong drivers... i think u guys are installing the 7 series go drivers...

in driver selection u got 3 boxes...

first box click "Graphic Drivers"

then click "Geforce and TNT2"

then click what operating system ur using... if its windows professional make sure to click on windows "Windows XP / 2000" unless ur sure u are using 64 bit...

this should help...

and if ur not sure still... after doing the above click on supported products on the left side... and look if ur card is in the list i am 100% sure it will be...

Since it is happening with more then one video card it's a problems with the drivers you are using. Though it could also be over heating if your case has very poor air flow.

Make sure your case fans are running and try different drivers.

NOPeace - out

Very sure sign of heat problems.

What about the video memory temps? Artifacts like that is usually caused by the video memory overheating.

If you can touch the VRAM chips on the card, do so while the corruption is taking place. They should be slightly warm, not HOT.

Otherwise, they could be defective.

Hmms, i just tested out with the latest foreware NVIDIA driver 93.71. And it is a clean format of my computer. But thing doesn't work what it suppose to be. Tested out playing maple for about 1hr 30 minutes with driver 91.33. After that corrupted images were shown, and the monitor change to sleep mode. A few seconds later, the CPU just reboot itself. What could be the reason for this? Anyhow know?

Now it's more likely that your CPU is overheating.

If you have teh technical know how and the proper tools
(Flathead Screwdriver (Phillips), Thermal Paste, Cleaning Agent (I prefer Carbeurator Cleaner) Then you should really remove the CPU Heatsink, clean all remnants of whatever was on it origionally, and reapply it with a fresh coat of thermal solution.. I usually use Arctic Silver 5.. and then mount the hardware back on and test it out again..




Also, make sure you clean yoru case.. if you cant even see through the fins of the heatsink because of crap in it.. thats a sure sign you NEED to clean it out.. just pull it off completely and soak it in warm water (Not hot or the heatsink will burn your fingers form residual heat buildup)

But again, only do this if you feel comfortable with it and have the technical knowledge to do it properly.. if not, then use compressed air to clean it out as best as possible.

I just found out that cpu fan was not running. Now it is fixed but still getting the same problem. Tested INGAME for 10minutes. This time it is faster than expected. Within 10 minutes, the whole graphic was corrupted. I can't do anything at all.. But it does not reboot now. Hmm what wrong?

To Takashi: what graphic card you using? because like my computer, it doesnt work with nvidia, only intel graphic card drivers.
