    Hey everyone,

    I have my lappy (see sig) for almost a half year now, but i got these problems with surten games.

    Most games that i play go with corrupt graphics mostly in the menus

    Examples...

    I also experience these problems in Counterstrike: Source.
    Like half the hossies head is corrupt graphic all colorfull and stuff...

    It reminds me of the graphics youll get when you faulty (or to much) overclocked a videocard.

    But the difference is, i didnt do any overclock on the ati mr x1400. Its stock.

    :(

    Does anybody know what to do?

    1) Try using the Dell drivers for the GPU, and update them as well. Follow the updating graphics drivers guide in the gaming forum sticky (that might help you).
    2) Try the ATI drivers (link in the sticky).
    3) How hot is the notebook?

    I would say heat or a driver issue, it could also be from using a no cd hack for a game. I would 1) open up the computer and clean all the dust out of it if you dont at least weekly take compressed air to the vents. 2) uninsatll your drivers then run driver cleaner pro(its free and can be found at majorgeeks.com) then download and install the latest DELL driver for your card, and 3) if you are using any hacks for a game uninstall it and then cleanly reinstall the game

    Problem solved.

    I removed the omega drivers and installed the ati drivers from the dell driver website.

    No more corrupt graphics, ty guys.
