Video Card Problem (Maybe?)

[Jak]

So I've been playing Dragon Age and for some reason my game has all of a sudden started doing this.. (sorry it maybe a big image)

I have tried everything to fix it but I do not know what's wrong. :-/ I have a really good computer with 0 frame issues with everything at max. I just get this crap.. I can provide more info. if needed. I just want this crap gone! D:


Oh and it's not usually this bad.. for some reason I just "lucked out" when trying to get a SS and it did this. But it's still bad otherwise.


Edit: I might as well add some info

Windows Vista 64 Bit
ATI HD 4870 x 2 (Crossfire) 1G total memory
8 Gigs Ram

And uh.. yah. I thought it was my AA but I've turned it off, half way, everything. :-/ It didn't do this for the first few hours of the game. Now it's automatic as soon as I turn the game on.

Um, given what I've seen with XI and similarly diagnosed thangz, I'd "guess" it's either overheating or one/both of your cards are taking a shit on you. I guess it's also possible that your PSU isn't meant for SLI set-ups or it's been running on overload for too long (now I'm pulling shit out of my ass if you couldn't tell) and is ..starting to not wurk rite? I'd try to track down a program to monitor case temperatures and see if it's being abnormally high or something first, then go from there.

My temperatures are very well.. my fans aren't even running but like 20% of the time.

But for some reason after I turned off that stupid dock crap on my desktop it hasn't done it in an hour or so. I'm hoping maybe it was just the background dock (or another program I closed in the background) that was causing it.
