I've been seeing spike like corruption in Mafia II. This happens as soon as I start playing so i don't think heating is the cause. I haven't seen it in any other game that I played (COD: Black Ops, Metro 2033 and Mass Effect). The only other program where I see it is in the 3D Immersed interface of Moovida.
System Specs:
AMD Phenom X2 550 @ stock speed
ATI Radeon HD 4850 with Catalyst 11.1
4GB DDR2 RAM
550W PSU
Win7 32
I've tried going back to Catalyst 10.6, but I still see the spikes. I changed all the video settings to minimum but still it persists.
I had been playing it for a few weeks before this started happening. A few weeks ago I took apart my card to clean out the fan and heatsink. The corruption started after that. So did I screw up something?? I've tried other forums, but haven't found a solution. Any help is appreciated.
