Can overclocking processor/memory cause graphics problems??

[parxuk]

Sorry for what is probably a real noob question (as the answer is probably yes), but can overclocking cause gfx issues in games?? (gfx card not overclocked by the way)

GFX = Nvidia 9800GTX. Have tried a few different drivers but get same kind of results

Q6600 currently at 3.6 (400x9)
Corsair XMS1024 667mhz 1GB x 4 (4GB) running at 5-5-5-18 800mhz 1:1 ratio

In FSX i am loosing some textures such as the following pictures where the runway is black (it should be all grey)

And on the plane where it also shouldnt be this colour, but white and blue

Possibly. Best way to see is to put cpu back to stock and see if the problems go away.

I wouldnt think so, it is prob a graphics driver issue?

Have tried 3 different nvidia drivers now with same results

Could it be a prolem with the gfx card itself??? Is there a way to test it???

It runs 3dmark05 OK, but i guess thats not much of an indication??
