graphics gone whacko ???
ok...one word: annoying.

when i exit teh game ( currently NFS MW and Lineage II ) i often get weird graphic effects...i m not sure what could have been wrong. other games dont give this weird effect.

the drivers are up to date and i m not aware of any GPU overheating. its not even overclocked ( tried a few times but its so lousy i actually underclocked it, so i set it back to default)

i attached 2 pictures to show u just how it looks like...

Change your colour depth to 16bit, then back to 32bit. That'll clear it up.

Are you running games outside your normal Disaply colour depth?

Which driver is this, or does it happen across all drivers? and if so, what is the most recent driver you have used?

and what is your current driver right now?

Try the 83.60XG set, using drivercleaner to remove the old drivers. See how it goes. Its a nice set too by the way.
