I am having a problem that no one seems to be able to fix =( In almost all video games, black squares appear all over the place and its VERY aggravating, ever since these showed up my load times have more than tripled in games like CSS. http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/6109/img0148st4.jpg thats what it looks like, I had to take a picture with my cellphone because when you print screen, the blocks dissapear =[

Does sound more like a question for a support division :-)

Have you updated your graphics drivers, what graphics board are you using?

Im using Nvidia's 7950GT KO by EVGA and I havent updated my drivers in a terribly long time, and sorry about putting this in the wrong area =X

Have you tried running an OpenGL application? If OpenGl works normally, it's certainly a software problem. If the same happens with OpenGL, i'd say this is a hardware issue. You might want to put the video-card into another computer and check whether the problem persists. If it does, I fear the only sollution is buying yourself a new card.

I'd say get the latest drivers for your card and the latest DirectX runtimes and if it still persists then it is most likely a hardware fault.
