Hi!

Was playing WvW today, when i joined a new party and suddenly graphics began flickering and started a disco-party.

I have tried restarting my computer, getting the latest drivers for the graphics card and changing graphics ingame. I have never encountered any problems with my graphics before.

Anyone got a clue what i can do to fix this?

My specs are:
Nvidia Geforce 550 ti
Intel Core i3-2120 3.30 ghz
4gb ram
Windows 64bit SP1

Thank you!

+1 for the picture, that looks awesome!

Firstly, as stated, check for a heating issue.

Have you overclocked your graphics card at all? Did it come with an overclock already on it from the manufacturer? If so, you might have to tone the overclock back to get acceptable parties again (of the non-disco variety).

Do you get crazy effects like this while playing other games? If so, this could be a problem with the card itself going bad.

Haha thanks bro. Its not overheating, temperatures idle is at 50. Yeah ive tried pushing overclock but it resets by itself in a minute so i didnt care do do it anymore after a couple of times. Yeah i tried Team Fortress 2, and i got the same discoparty, so i guess its my card which is taking goodbye?

Try getting the latest drivers from the official website and installing those instead of the ones you have, that fixed similar problem I had, although my old drivers were up to date.

Yeah, looks like it is time to RMA the card. Sorry, I don’t know what else to check.
