Probably your card overheating.

Too many programs running?
Now love me you big noob~



With my psychic powers I detect that your card is a Radeon with Vision Engine Control Center version 12.2. Am I correct?

huh, my old graphics card did that a few years ago. shortly after, it died and everything looked like it was made out of plaid.

My card died and my computer wouldn't work. I had to replace the whole motherboard. It was a $450 repair, Luckally I had 3 more days left on AppleCare.


dosnt seem like a symptom of overheating.

has it always done this? maybe your drivers could use an update

It's never done this before. It fixed itself when i reset my computer though.

You could try updating your drivers to the latest version and/or reinstalling the current ones.

Not to be the party pooper, but that thar is an ambiguous title.

aaa that is true.
woop, sec

I would typically go with that your graphics card is overheating. Overheats tend to cause those kinds of visual defects in my experience.
