Hello all,
My name is David Marasco i have had a recent problem (about a month) with my XpertVison ATI radeaon 256mb the problem consists on lines start appearing on my screen.

Example: if i am playing oblivion in the distant hills and trees in front of me, Huge lines will start appearing from those hills and trees and when i move the lines will move and it gets worse the longer i play, Takes about 1 to see the lines,

Eample: If i am playing Quake 4/World of Warcraft the same thinkg will happen lines will satrt appearing from walls and my gun and enemys and wow lines will start to show up from the chat box and drag across the screen and longer i play for the worse it gets. so i just dont play any 3d games anymore seeing though thats when it seems to stuff up, because as soon as i get out of the game my computer is fine and no lines at all,

I have Added a screenshot of quake 4 so you guys can get an idea of what im talking about this is about 3 mins of gameplay note if HTML picture dose not show up please click the link below it to take you to the picture

ATI catalyst 7.2 Driver second latest one out i think

I have run XP pro 64bit edition before and my computer has never been beter and the AGP Card was fine, but was fine for a period of time in 32bit aswell

I hope the infomation i provided can help abit as i am up for anything so please if anyone has any ideas, BIOS settings or driver downloads or even AGP settings please let me know you can email even at n0va_@msn.com

I cant apply for a warranty at ATI.inc cause they sa:) id the card is XpertVision so i need to talk to them all my seller i brought it of. And i did that and XperVision did not give me a Reply back! And i cant even apply for the ATI trade up program because i am in Australia and i dont think the do it here

Hehe,

Ok np ill send you a pm, so whats the average temp i should be having when i go home to test it?,

And also chances are its nothing to do with the settings then (bios/agp)? after reading the artifacts guide

And could be a ram issue in the card if so then im screwed! lol

Thanks for your help so far mate you have been great!:D

I found this from another forum thread...
"If it's peaking >90C regularly in ATI Tray Tools, chances are you have a bad card, bad fan or similar. Most X850's run about peak of 82-85C.. with possibly rare peaks into the 88-90C zone. If it's at or above 90C regularly, you have a cooling/card issue."

I dont know if thats right or not.. we'll see..
you can read the thread here radeon x850XT reboots - TechSpot Troubleshooting

Your not overclocking your card are you?
Also when you go to take the temp of your card.. launch Quake or oblivion then when you start seeing the artifacts Alt+Tab and minimize the game then check your temps. so we can get the temp your card is working at during the game.
 
Ok thankyou ill do all that when i am home, and no i am not a fan off overclocking anything! lol

Thanks again ill send you a PM when i have all the details about the temp.

Best Rgrds
David:)
