Hello

I have a Gigabyte Nvidia 8400GS 512mb 64bit
Today I updated my Nvidia drivers.
But i started to notice some problems:
1. When i drag my mouse on a picture in youtube.com, the screen flashes and then goes back to normal.

2. When i play MW2 on steam, everything is like big, colorful cubes. But when i tried to play on cracked MW2, everything was normal.

3. I dont know why, but on legal MW2 version the game lags like hell on lowest settings avaiable.
But on cracked version, I can put on medium/high and i get 50+ fps.

Where should be the problem?

may be your graphics card is having some dust on it just unplug it and give it a clean and do the same thing to your CPU and Rams buts first of all try to do it to your card than give it a try

on illegal version i run at 800*600res and everything else on medium/high. I have 50+fps
on legal version i tried the same and i get 15-25fps. I tried even at 680*480 and i had max 30fps

I dont think the fix is hiding in the GPU cleaning

1. Clean the card.
2. Did you use driver sweeper and get the latest drivers?
3. What is your PSU.
4. Do you have a spare or a friends GPU you can try out.
5. What is the GPU temperature both idle and gaming.
6. Just play the cracked version if you actually own the game, doesn't really matter.
7. Don't bump your own thread so many times, if someone is going to help they will, don't spam the forums.
8. Try a diferent web-brower and see if the Youtube problem still happens, also make sure Java and Flash are updated. Mozilla and Chrome are both amazing browsers.
