Quake3World

vid card is GTX 460
driver is 266.58
adobe flash is latest version

some vids work, others show flashing green or just vids with some artifacts, tried latest vid driver but it was a lil worse so i'm using the ones i mentioned above. last night my screen went black as well as today for 2 seconds with the msg "no signal" then came back on by itself.

card going bad ? which i doubt.

any ideas what to try next ?

Last time something like thats happened to me, the GFX card was taking a shit.

don't doubt the card is bad .. it's Badder then Simbad.
or stock overclocking the poor video cheapo

I've had problems playing flash movies ever since moving to firefox 4.
Occasionally resulting in hard crashes, having to reboot.

Not convinced about the correlation, but never had this problem using previous FF versions.

i've tried FF4, but went back to FF3.6.15 i think and everything worked fine, then it did an update to FF3.6.17 so i'm guessing the last update did it.

only with flash tho correct? or were you getting artifacts with windows and or games ?

found a nice site but only about FF4 about the flash problem,

tried it with 3.6.17 no luck yet

read other sites and FF knows theres a problem so does Adobe but not Adobes fault. They're working on it

I upgraded flash today and haven't had problems since (combined with FF4).

just got duke forever, was playing and the monitor went off to no signal, had to reboot, tried again and had few glitches with duke then more then a grey screen, will try latest drivers again but will try crysis 2 first with current drivers.

tried blackops with my old driver and was getting glitches, gonna install a new driver now and test again.

installed the 275.33 driver (clean install this time), tried black ops and it works, tried flash on a site that didn't work now it works.

lol

i figured the prob.

one of the DVI connectors on the GFX went bad, switched to the other one and it's a new card again.

go get that card replaced man. There's no excuse for faulty hardware.

i've already sent a RMA request, 2 business days for a reply, maybe they'll reply before July 4 hits

the RMA has been approved, time to ship

first reply, i win

seconded for shits and giggles

as soon as they got my card, they shipped another one a day later, so yay i'm getting a new card or possibly something better

so the new card is here, still a 460, bastards, will install tomorrow, i'm off to the lake for a dip.
