The problem machine is a Dell XPS17 with the 3D vision Nvidia 555M GPU (3GB DDR5 variant).
I have been suffering from in a consistent type of intermittent graphical fault across several games which causes:
Occasional GPU driver failure and restarts; game still plays. (Occurs in Space Engineers)
CTD; Game 'stops responding' (Common across all of my Assassins Creed games)
Persistent graphical glitches / rendering artifacts.(KSP)
The artifacts are a common symptoms to all of these faults but they cause differing degrees of disruption to my game play:
These strange square glitches occur in varying numbers and don't seem to have consistent placing. I believe they MAY be related to textures with an alpha layer, as when I maneuver the camera over cast shadows, the glitch disappear, but 'behind' the glitch is no shadow.
With regards to the AC games, the splash screens load up fine, and the intro sequence for AC:1, but as soon as the game goes to open the main menu they CTD.
I have tried removing and reinstalling my Nvidia Software and drivers, reverting GPU drivers, and direct x diagnosis. Starting to pull my hair out so any idea or help would be appreciated.
If you need more information, please let me know.
Glitches are present over land:
But if I pan the camera and move them into the sky, they disappear::edit:: in game these glitches dissapear, but in these screenshots they are changed, but still visible::
The glitches reappear in their previous position on returning the view to the land.
