I have the best gfx bug since... ever!! Here are just a few examples of the amazing art work my GFX bug can create.

On a more serious note... HOW DO I FIX IT!?!?
I've tried everything known to man. I've installed the latest gfx drivers, all the basics etc...

Any ideas?

I had the same problem sometimes with my ati 9800pro. Seems like it happened when it overheated.

I replaced the gfxcard.

Yep, overheating.

I get the same issue occasionally.

Take the side off your PC. Then if that doesn't work, take the card out, clean the dust out of the fan/heatsink, put it back in...

Alternatively, alt-tab out of the 3D application for a while, let it cool down...

It happened to me for 5s recently, dont think my comp is there to blame it's new and shiny still.
Dont scare me about overheating, my computer produces so many heat that I have to open doors and windows even in winder  :'(

Lol cheers guys...

I now have a industrial B&Q mini-fan pointing directly at my GFX card. This seems to have solved the problem.
