COD 4 graphics problems

Hi,

When I am in COD 4 the screen will randomly go inverted so I cant see anything except grays and stuff, not vista just the game. I have to alt + tab out and back to change it. Also I seem to be getting The "Display driver has stopped working and has recovered successfully" alot. In certain games like WoW it will go black for a second then run again.

I used to have a 9800GT and that used to blue screen me sometimes so I got a Gigabyte 4850.

I have the newest ATI drivers, newest windows updates.

I've heard some games dont like OCZ ram also I have 8GB so that may be making it a problem

Check my systems specs in the tab please.

Thanks,

Hi small heart, your system seems ok, apart from one thing, a 600W PSU for a Core 2 Quad processor? and all that power being used for your antec 900 case as well, my friend lee had a similar problem when i gave him my 8800GTS, he was running on a 300W psu and i gladly changed it for him, he now runs a 650W psu with no problems at all. I feel that maybe this is the problem, power is being used by the cpu and none left for the GPU.

its up to you, you dont have to stick to specific brands, that the beauty of computing, mix and match, i believe silverstone and asaka have good PSU's, depends on your budget though. Have a shop around and make sure you get a non-modular PSU with 85% efficiency, i would recommend coolermaster though.

I'd say go for a pc power & cooling 750, they have a good reputation. I have one and it's working great for me! And not noisy either...

I had a similar problem with most of my games right after I installed Vista x64 and my problem turned out to be my 22" LCD monitor, I was using the 32bit drivers for it and Vista x64 was not playing well with it.

I was able to find 64bit drivers for it and, so far... it has not happened again (knocking on wood).

If your Device Manager is showing a PNP Generic Monitor or something similar to this abd bit the name of your monitor, you may have to find newer drivers for it.
