Graphics card gone wacko (or fs)

Postby Gunny04 » Thu Dec 22, 2005 8:18 pm

When I fly in FS this is NOT what it looks like, but ummmm for some reason my screenshots turn out this way, and FS will ocasionally crash and look like this... heres a screen

Image

in order to keep some information private (Was running in background) I had to crop the image... This happens along with a mini (Windowed) Version of FS Running behind it... Any help would be most appreciated, I believe this is a result of my PSU because my MX (Built in) Does NOT do this! Cheers, Gunny

What are you useing as a screen shot taker? Also it may be due to being a windowed app. But all in all I believe that this is due to your PSU.

Yes, I'd say the PSU also, 250 watt with a Geforce 6 series is asking for trouble, tbh.
