Running games and something not right.... snowflakes. Need help

[ren16]

I was just playing Max Payne and for some reason the screen has white dots flickeing. Can anyone tell me what to do?

And also, can anyone tell me what the best drivers for the ultra out right now are?

Need more info, video card, processor, ram etc.
Did you install the Max Payne patch yet.

"Snow" usually means either your videocard is overclocked too high or is overheating. I'd go with the WHQL 12.41 drivers. They aren't the latest ones, but are well-known to be "a really good set".

Are you OCing your card? If so, set it to stock speeds. If not OCing, check to make sure that the fan on the vidcard hasn't died. Not out of the ordinary for this to happen.

I know nothing about the patch for the game. Sheesh, didn't the game just hit the stores a few days ago? They have a patch already? THat's a good thing, though!

I'm sure its not max payne cuz it happened to a test in 3dmark 2001

Geforce2 Ultra
P3 1000mhz
386mb ram

where can i find those drivers?

Snow like dots on the screen is a sure sign of overclocking your ram to high on you vid card.

Are you doing that? If not sounds like you might try getting some more air on you vid card.
