Computer problem, need help ASAP

[Ketch]

posting in Off Topic because i need answers quickly.

 

I get these little dots that show up across my screen periodically, and when i launch counterstrike they really start showing up, all across my screen... i get 40 fps when i used to get 250. Right after i join a server my PC crashes right away.

 

Here's a picture of the dots

If anyone can tell me why i'm crashing...where these dots are coming from, do i need new shit? should i just drop these PC, and buy a new one? you'll really help me!

 

Thanks

I'm thinking its you card.

I'd ask Harry

That's what i think, and other friends think.

I dl'd the newest drivers, and its still fucked.

They're called Artifacts, meaning your card is about to shit itself aka it's gonna die.

 

if you still have warranty you should return it.

 

 

Artifacts have nothing to do with drivers it's hardware related.

 

there are all different types of Artifacts from tiny dots to big lines and big squares.

Those little black dots / shapes are artifacts. Basically you need to get your self a new Graphics Card.

They're artifacts, you need a new card

To be sure make sure its not your cable. This happened to me awhile back and after I untangled my cables and shit it went back to normal. Although the FPS drop would explain the fps drop so get a new card.
