RAM 2GB
Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT 1Gb

Have you turned V-sync on in the game options? Normally solves all screen tearing issues.

However due to the age of your pc it could also be hardware related, faulty ram can cause tearing as well as game rendering issues, when crysis first came out i pushed my ram to hard while over clocking it to try and max the game out, a stick gave up the ghost and i got tearing as well as weird textures and pink floaty bits lol

Yeah I turned Vsyc on, butt didn't help. It affects videos to, I watcha video for 15 mins and then it starts flickerng. Don't know what to do. It's freacking anyoning.

You can try to update the graphic card drivers to the latest available for your card from NVIDIA site.

you can get them from here

Thanks. I've done that but it isn't helping. If you've more suggestions subscribe please.

If you have flickering video you need to update your flash player

possibly your NetFrameWork4.0 too

Well since i noticed it is a laptop when was the last time you cleaned it

By looking at it being a Laptop and your specs it's possibly overheating you should look at your temps

kind of pushing a dual core and 9400gt and 2gb of ram is real hard on a system especially if you are trying to play something a little newer check your temps also if that doesn't help you might need to OC the card to make it stop it's probably struggling

It's not a Laptop, it's a Computer. When I play a game on a lower resolution it starts tearing after more time, thean on a higher resolution. MORE SUGGESTIONS???

 

[Crysis2107]

And I cant' change the refresh rate, it's 60. If i want to change it, Imust lover my screen resolution from 1366X768 to 1024x768. But in the past(not long ago) everything worked perfect on 1366x768 60hz. ?????????????????
