Well, I was curious about overclocking my Video Card a tiny bit because it was lagging a bit in KOTOR, lol..So I downloaded version .24 and installed it, and before I started overclocking I decided to text Max Core speed or w/e. It was doing it's thing and raising the core speed slightly every few seconds, while showing a 3d rendering thing on the side, and after about 3 minutes, a wierd flash of static looking stuff flashed on the screen and the computer froze. I Tried to stop it, and close it, and finally decided to restart it with the restart button on my PC to prevent damage. I started it up and it seemed to be working, so I thought I'd text the max memory and be a little more careful this time. Within .46 seconds the screen was completely distorted after a black flash on the screen, and it was frozen again. I restarted again, thinking that it was ok, nothing was wrong, even started to play KOTOR. When I started to play KOTOR everything was going ok, and it was playing fine. Then it played a Cut-Scene Movie, and when it went back to the game everything was messed up. It was so distorted I could barely do anything. Then I close KOTOR, and the whole Screen is doubled, and distorted. I Restarted my PC and it worked, but then after playing KOTOR again, It did the same thing I found out instead of restarting I can just change resolution and it fixes the graphical distortion, but it's very annoying and I'm fearing that I damaged my brand new (Less than one month use) video card...I spen't all the money I had avaliable to spend on this video card, and I deffinately can't get a new one, and I'm 99% sure the warranty is invalid if you try to overclock the card..Can anyone PLEASE think of anything I could do to fix this? Thank's for reading my long post Hope I can get this fixed
P.S. I'll try to get a picture of what it looks like if it happens again.
