Got it while playing black ops but the wierd part was what I noticed in my menu's.

(I got 10.3 ver of Catalyst because its easy and works better)
But in that menu when i go to 3D the moving picture has thin black lines and dots and flickers all over the place. same with the menu in black ops settings.

Things I tried:
Restarting PC
Uninstalled black ops
Tried different catalyst drivers
Reinstalled Windows



PC specs:
Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit
Radeon HD 4850 w/ Catalyest 10.3 ver (Not upgrading, please dont suggest to)
Intel core 2 duo celeron
Microsoft securety essentials

I really dont know what else to do

(It has stopped now but I'm reinstalling black ops but I'm not gonna play it till I find out what to do if it happens again)

PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Thank you


probally gonna goto bed right about now though, I been up for the last 4 hours re-downloading stuff because of system wipe

EDIT!



That is a "EDIT" of what it looked like in 3D app's and around my OS

not trying to be rude, can I please get some help?

haha funny, the PC is dust xD
it isn't from heat or dust, it has to do with the directX cause it happend AFTER the directX error, I had the PC going at 240*F with no problem, But I want to know how to stop this error

I dont see how though, It started after directX unrecoverable error, I wipe my windows and I'm fine.

Didn't notice any black at all on a clean windows, infact I just played a game of B.O. and didnt have the error message so it would have had to of been the DirectX, how do I uninstall directX and get a new 1? and if I can play MW2 on max graphics why can't I play CoD bo with max? or even medium

My issue and what I am concerned about it how it happend and why, the directX came WITH black ops, That is what failed.

And now the lines are back. How do I uninstall directx?!?

This time no error message

Hello, I am kind of concerned about you saying that you were running your GPU at 240°F that is 115°C over what any GPU should be at.

Here are some things that could help cool it off.

1.) Take a panel off the case exposing the GPU

2.) get a home fan and blow air onto it --Recommended you turn off your computer wait 45min more it to cool off first, because things can crack on the mobo if they get cooled to quickly.

3.) Get some computer Dust cleaner and dust the GPU.

4.) Set the Resolution of the game lower and turn down the setting's a bit.
------------------------------------------------------------
But to be completely honest you probably over heated your GPU. If your game looks like this or even close to it, then you over heated it. and might have to buy a new one
--and about that DirectX thing it could be because of the GPU overheated.


hope this help
