WTH Graphics Glitch

Today when I opened up Guild Wars, on the main screen where you login, the background was sky blue. I logged in and in game, I see no character models, nothing, just sky blue. I did however, see text typed into chat, and menu windows.

I clicked options, and when I turn the options from max down to any other settings, everything apepars. My computer doesn't seem to be overheating, at least my processor isn't, is there any program that will tell me the temp of my 7800GT?

everest! its a really cool little program, doesnt use hardly any system resources and it shows alot of temperatures in the takbar, including cpu, graphics card, hard drive, motherboard etc if they have sensors built into them!

It also has a benchmarking utility within

Give it a try, been using it for years now with no problems.

Here you go, if it has a thermal senor, it should pull it:

everst home edition (free version has been removed, it's all paid now) but you can find it at majorgeeks usually. http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html

Not sure it will pull the temp, not looked for that function (it may). I use it to report hardware / driver config in detail.

Also check in the advanced setting in your driver.
