I love chips!

Ive recently been having quite a lot of graphics problems on H2V.

Since upgrading to the latest nvidia drivers (7.15.11.7783) on my 8800GT the problems have become worse. I was playing online for about 5 mins when suddenly my graphics card fan was working at max. Strange seeing as this is a very old game with dated graphics. Then another 10 mins I get a layer of red artifacts everywhere. No doubt my graphics card is overheating . So far this hasnt happened with other games. Then I had a full computer freeze.

Before this version I often got blue screens of death. Anyone else have problems like this?

Also sometimes when using a 360 controller the buttons will swap themselves round. So X corrisponds to pressing A etc.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

Unfortunately the chipset of your 8800GT is suspect right now...

The notebook variants are failing and nVidia has had to pay off HP and Dell, now it looks like the desktop variants are affected as well.

My suggestion is to download Rivatuner and manually set your fan speed as high as possible without sounding like a hair dryer. Yes your video card is overheating if the fan is maxing out.

The 360 controller issue is just a bug with the game, nothing to do with your 8800GT.

And before people think I'm hating on nVidia, my ATI 4870 that I bought launch week died and is in the process of RMA. It happens.
