Good morning.
from almost 2 weeks i have experienced a strange problem when playing games on my desktop, and mostly Orbiter, because of it's graphical load.
Specs of my PC are in my signature.
However the problem is that while i am playing, sometimes even as soon as i start a session, a green blinking pixel (in number from 1 to 3/4) appears on the screen. it is not a big problem but...
then, after a while i am plaiyng, sometimes less than 2 minutes, the screen freezes or become black and i cannot do anything apart rebooting the machine.
using Ati tray tools of omega drivers i could monitor the temperature and it raises above 77 °. then i get strange visual problem of textures, and finally need to force reboot.
there is no dust on the radiator and between the blades of the fan, my case is open.
what i have thought is the thermal paste...maybe it's over and i need to change it. i use my PC quite a bit. sometimes it is on for more than 10 hours, and i use Orbiter for almost 2 hours a day, sometimes more.
what do you think?
thanks for help.
