Please help a fellow TF2/CSS fan

I've been off the PC gaming scene for a while, in fact a good 8 months or so. I was a huge fan of both games and I'm only getting back into them.

I did a clean install of all games I formatted with Vista approx 4 months ago. In both CSS and TF2 I get the same texture problems. Whenever I face a player textures go all over the place.

Here's an example:



I'd really appreciate it, if you could help a fellow gamer out

Thanks fellas, it's definitely overheating. My card is at clock speeds. However, I'm currently living inside a box room. So Dual screens, Logitech Z-5500's, Xbox360 and a OC'd pc with central heating on don't go too well!

My CPU now sits at arounds 50-55 idle as opposed to 40! The solution was to remove the case case for gaming opening the window. Dropped my temps by 10-20 degrees on both idle and load!

Arjun, bring it blad!

Id give the pc a good clean, get some compressed air and fire away at the gpu fan.

The problem is, due to the lack of room, there's extremely bad airflow and it seems like I'll have to make do for another 5 months, so no biggy

You could always turn the Central heating off and hope all of that can replace it.

Haha

I would but I think my house mates may complain; there's always the window
