i dont get any texture reversals, i just get like a big judder and then everything goes in stutter-motion when mine gives up the ghost. Will try that addon out, thanks.
That's what I get too but in my case it usually clings on in there. I might end up in the gravel but it doesn't CTD. I can't understand, if it is the GFX card over heating, why it recovers. Once it has had it's hissy fit it runs fine again. My disconnection at Goodwood was different. It just froze without any change in fps. And come on Legzy, tell us what the car is for next week!!!!! And is there any truth in the rumour that the one after that, at Monaco, will be in GT40 Mk2? Mine doesnt disco either, but the huge drop in fps and stutter-vision makes continuing impossible so i have to quit out Its almost like my system runs out of memory (i have 2gb of Crucial ram). Elans at Monaco eh? sounds like fun ! where are my Rayban aviators?

Could be the RAM on the graphics card overheating. I think that's what caused the texture problems on mine. Big pause, as though it's reloading everything at once, then it comes back with the textures in the wrong place.
It's a very common problem with the 8800/9800 series. Seems they just set the temperature control fan speed wrong. If it's on auto and under a decent amount of strain for a long time, it just overheats.

I suffered similar problems with my 8800 so changed it for a 4870 but still had overheating problems. Mine was all down to dust in the case/fans all along :'(

No, that would be stupid . It's the L88 Nah, due to popular demand (Ginsters just insisted on them! )... it'll the Elan's at Monaco. And Potrero?

Clive, that must be like the sixth time you've asked... Have you not worked out it's a secret yet?

I think that is extreme prejudice against newbies!!!!!! It might be all well and good for you lot who have driven all the cars and seen all the tracks but from where I'm sitting the idea sucks! Don't you think that the aliens, who can brew up a setup in minutes from the ones they have on the shelf, are far enough in front already?

Sometimes you'll get more warning then others (based on how much free time I have how much practice time I'm willing to give up each week)

Is the HWMonitor completely idiot proof and capable of being used by someone who doesn't want to wrestle with pc hand-to-hand?

Yes, it just pops up a window with various stats collected from the mobo, CPU, GPU and so forth and shows current, minimum and maximum values. The maxima are the most useful bits 'cause you can go do something like running GTR2 and come back and see what the temperatures spiked to.

You were right, it was no problem to install or run. But I don't believe much of what it says. I had just run a PnG replay before this shot. As you can see I have tried a few of these things in the past and they don't seem to give any real information. I don't believe that the CPU can sit at 86 deg C and never move and the +/- 12 volt readings are a joke. Surely if that were true it would crash every five minutes. EDIT: Using ade's magic utility to stop everything running bar PnG and doing a defrag on PnG, I still suffered my usual "screen shudder" at 3/4 distance at Mid-Ohio.
