HELP ME!
I have been playing the game, Counter-Strike in OpenGL for a while now on my rig, and has been flawless. 75fps, never bumping down from there. But, a problem has surfaced two days ago.
Whenever I enter a game, be it online or off, I run into a huge problem. The textures keep blinking on and off, black to normal-looking texture. This happens for about 15 seconds, and then the system hangs, and I must restart. it has been this way ever since.
(Edit: For a snapshot of what is happening, http://www.geocities.com/broham/wtf.jpg This is a still shot of it, when the game is running, it keeps flashing and blinking between black and the regular texture.)
Now, I have installed the latest drivers for the card, Detonator3, and gotten DirectX 8, and even went so far as to d/l the drivers for my motherboard, to no avail. I have not overclocked my card, it is running at the stock speed of 200/Engine and 166(333) DDR memory.
I just ran into this problem two days ago, after a good 5 months of use. I have not been able to sleep, due to my lack of a gaming 'fix'. Please help!
My specs are :
1.2 Athlon
A7A266 Asus Motherboard
Asus AGP-V7700 GeForce2 GTS w/32mb of memory
256 of DDR RAM
30 gig. UDMA/100
Win98
Also, the problem started on the day that I installed Office 2000, but I surely don't think that this is a problem.
I have adequate airflow, and have kept the cpu/memory to a temperature of 40-45C, and the video card to around 50-54C. I do not think it could be a temperature problem either, as it has been running for 5 months.
This problem is not localized to Counter-Strike either. Any game that makes use of video hardware acceleration freezes.
If anyone could please tell me what to do, I would be eternally grateful.
Thanks in advance,
Johan Lieu.
