I have just encountered a video problem on my new laptop. See the attached image? I was playing Fable for about 20 minutes with no problem, and then the screen went like that, and the game froze. Now, I can't play the game more than a minute or two without it doing that.
It hadn't done this with any other games, though I hadn't played many serious ones, but I never had a problem with Morrowind, Simcity 4, or IL-2.
So I thought it might be an issue with the game. I just tried playing Mafia, and after abotu 20 minutes it did the same thing.
Is this likely to be a problem with my laptop itself? (Maybe I shouldn't have got it off eBay) Or is it maybe something to do with it overheating? (Which shouldn't be this bad anyway, should it? It makes most games virtually unplayable?) My laptop has an ati mobility radeon 9700.
Any help much apreciated. :confused4 :cry2:
