Major Graphics Problems!

[distortbox]

so a week or so ago i installed a few different games on my PC (splinter cell, neverwinter nights) turns out splinter cell doesn't work because my card (NVDIA GeForce4 MX) doesn't support shader model 1.0-3.0. i don't know if this is relevent to my problem, but now after playing neverwinter nights for a week or so i went back to GTA and the Graphics are all messed up. i can't even see the game well enough to load it. it's all purple and greeen lines. i have tried everything from uninstalling the other games to updating the drivers on my card. everything used to work fine. any suggestions? i've tried just about everything.

Download RivaTuner off Guru3D.com, install it, load up the Hardware Monitor via the Arrow next to the name of your VGA Card.

 

Then load up your game and exit after about 5 mins. Then tell me your temps in here.

the only number i am seeing is on the right side of the graph and it says 378.

try an old forceware driver (like 45.23) !
