My PC keeps doing this? - Carl - 2014-09-17 17:45 It also does something similar which is hard to describe but usually fixes when I restart the game. Note: this does not occur on LFS but happens on games like Arma and ETS RE: My PC keeps doing this? - Pete - 2014-09-17 17:46 Looks like your GPU is about to die. Not a lot you can do apart from clean your fans and check for any driver updates. When this happens again, try to take a screenshot. If the error is visible in the screenshot then it might be something else. RE: My PC keeps doing this? - Pipa - 2014-09-17 17:50 I agree with Pete. Had similar artifacts when my gpu died. RE: My PC keeps doing this? - Carl - 2014-09-17 17:51 Yeah, I will take a screen shot next as I assume it could be my monitor? RE: My PC keeps doing this? - Chuck - 2014-09-17 17:55 It's rather the video memory than the gpu but agree with the rest. Your card is about to die. I also had one with similar effects. RE: My PC keeps doing this? - Pete - 2014-09-17 18:28 Yes, video memory exactly. My old laptop GPU had a similar issue before dying, so did the replacement GPU I got for it. Only difference to yours is that the entire screen was full of those sort of artifacts. A likely reason why you're not getting this error on LFS (yet), is because LFS isn't as graphically intensive as ARMA or ETS. RE: My PC keeps doing this? - Matt - 2014-09-18 00:25 GPU Death. Got the same feels here, bro.
