Screen is Pink and Green


(unforgiven91) #1

After updating my Video Card Drivers to the latest hotfix I figured everything would be cool. It worked for a while. As of today I am getting a very vivid Purple and green screen. Steam refuses to get a picture of it or else I would have visible evidence. Let me see if I can do something about it.

Anyways, what’s going on? Anybody know?

Dual ATI radeon mobility hd 4800
dual core intel 2.9 ghz cpu
Windows 7 64 bit
8 gb RAM

this happens on boot and it seems to get better as I work my pc in-game. Hasn’t resolved yet.

are you using secondary cooling for your laptop ?

A weak little fan that does the job sufficiently.

My cards are in no way overheating at launch.

was just a question, something similar happened to one of my foster kids lappy because it was on his bed not getting cooling

should be able to use print screen to capture a pic

I’ve been using the Steam screenshot taker, but i’ll try printscreen.

and my laptop is raised with plenty of room to breathe.

Will get a prntscrn after work.

PrntScrn captures the image currently on my desktop (chrome, etc) but not my game, so I can’t give you anyhthing to work with.

Solved. A fresh reinstall of the ATI hotfix cleared it up.

Woops, spammed my own thread. My bad mods. Mark it solved. Thanks.
