OK, I am gonna start off by saying that I have done a real dumb thing. Dont ask why I did this, or even thought about it,...cause I can't answer that.
Anyways, I was playing World of Warcraft and I decided to OC my vid card. I do this every once in a while jus for some extra performance. So, instead of quiting the game, I alt+tabbed out and opened ATI tool. With the game minimized, I proceeded with to OC to my normal, stable OC. I then closed ATI tool and re-entered WoW. When I got back in, the screen was all screwed up and it almost looked like the memory had overheated (weird colors, no snow, but it all was shaped from the middle of the screen, like a vortex or something). So anyways, I quit WoW and restarted it and ever thing was fine. But now, ever once inawhile, usually after the game loads something, it does it again. And when it screws up, I exit the game and Windows is messed up. So I have to restart to be able to see the screen properly. I figure I have to reinstall the game, but just wanna make sure. And anyways, I am home from school and the CDs are back at my apartment.
I am almost 100% sure it is not overheating. After this has happenned I have ran HL2 with no probs and 3Dmark05 with no probs. So I guess the OC screwed some of the files for the game. Since then, I uninstalled ATI tool to see if that would help, but no go. What do you guys think? HELP!
And if you play WoW, I play on Thunderhorn and my name is Sufferings.
