I recently reinstalled my entire system, clean sweep. Have the latest drivers installed and all that.
I've got a really weird problem that may be something simple that I just don't know how to describe very well.
When I am playing a game, after a minute or so the video goes all wonky, by wonky, I mean it looks like this:
Wonky Video
I apologize for the quality of the picture, the sun is shining through the window and the cameraphone is ... well a cameraphone.
The thing is when I took that picture the game had barely even loaded (this instance was Railroad Tycoon 3) and in fact wasn't on a 3D screen yet, just the menu. The issue however isn't with the particular game because its happened in multiple games, UT2k4 and Portal as well.
To add another twist to my frustration, if I alt-tab out of the game and back into the game, the game will be fine for about a minute until it goes crazy again. I can do this all night to *fix* it but it will always go bad after a little while.
Also, if I play the exact same game in 'windowed' mode instead of full screen, at the exact same resolution (1024x768) it's fine. It never messes up and runs like a champ.
Not really sure what's going on here, please help!
