Since yesterday Guild Wars has been flashing between a bright yellow screen and normal gameplay plus i occasionally i get the odd glitch with the "Hero" window.

My graphics card is a Geforce FX 5200, i use forceware 81.98 and i have DX9.0c
So i'm just wondering, is my graphics card dying or is there any way to fix this?



Thanks
Also i've only had my graphics card for 3 months.

ya by the looks of that your having artifacts which is mosty due to video card overheating or like you said dieing but first i would try different drivers perferably older one with your model of video card it could be a driver problem but i think it is the card overheating or dieing

yea i would go back on your drivers, sometimes it may be the setup also. I would hope thats its not dead seeing as how you've only had it for 3 months. Make sure theres good ventilation so that its not overheating
