Hello sle3pingz,

It sounds like it may be an issue with your video driver. Check to make sure that you have the latest driver version installed. If you do, then completely uninstall and reinstall the driver to see if it helps if it had just gotten corrupted. In addition, your system may just not like that version of the driver, and trying a older or different version number may work better.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

umm, but that only happens at that game , maybe i should wait for next patch of that game, maybe that will fix the problem , last week that game have a new patch ... after that patch , the problems is occurred , before that patch , don't have any problem like that at all , then what do you think ? and if appear that error, it's not mean my VGA Hardware been damaged or broken already right?

and i want ask too, there's a possibility the VGA Driver Version not compatible with that game because the new Patch ?

You're hardware is most likely fine. It's just a constant update between the video drivers and game patches. One may break the other until the next release. If this happens, about all you can do is rollback to a older version of whichever one broke it.

You might check to see if there may be any new video drivers or hotfixes available from your graphics card/chip manufacturer (ex: Intel, AMD, or NVIDIA) that may help as well.

Sorry, I just meant that a new game patch may not work with the older video driver until a new video driver is released, OR that a new video driver may not work with the old game patch until a new game patch is released.

It's possible.

It no problem. You're most welcome. :)

Please let us know how it goes.
