I have a 8600 GT vid card. Last night I was playing online and then out of nowhere, my screen goes all black for a second and then the game comes back as if nothing happened. I minimized my game and checked if anything was running on my desktop to see if that could have caused this. But nothing, only my fraps was running. It did this like 2 or3 times more. I've been playing this game for like 3 weeks now and never encountered a problem like this. I havn't played the game since but I will in a second to see if it happens again. Does anyone know the reason/cause and how to fix this?

Sounds like your video card is getting HOT!! When every you see flashes, screen going back or video tearing your video card is getting hot! I suggest you check it out!!Originally posted by Karmaowns View PostComment

8600GTs do run pretty hot. I had one for a while and it was constantly around 85 degrees C when playing UT3.Comment

Update your graphics card drivers..
that could always be the problem....anyways anything to do with graphics cards just restart your computer/check for updates/update your drivers/ if everything fails...bring it bakc to teh store and get a new one..Comment
