For a while I have been having graphical and memory corruptions issues while playing Team Fortress 2. Symptoms include:

  • Screen blanking

In the game I was playing in an area that is similarly coloured

  • Sound stuttering
  • Graphical corruption on desktop
  • Memory errors opening all programs
  • Sometimes the entire system would lock up

So I am stumped on what is going on. This is what I have tried

  • Undervolting and running stability test
  • Stock voltages and running stability test
  • Memory test...no errors
  • Updated BIOS
  • Updated all drivers
  • Uninstalled and reinstalled TF2
  • Virus scan
  • Replaced stock GPU thermal paste

What more can I do? I have tried everything and I still get these issues. Has anyone had anything similar happen? My specs are in my sig or below:

AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE ? Asus M5A88-M ? Kingston 16GB DDR3 1600MHz

Mushkin Chronos 120GB SSD ? WD Scorpio Blue 320GB

Gigabyte Radeon HD 6770

Antec Kuhler 620 ? OCZ ZS 550W PSU ? Antec Mini P180 White ? Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

Reminds me of a failing GPU, try a different one?

That sucks. I do have onboard graphics, I guess I'll try that.

My discrete card is a Radeon HD 6770 and my onboard is a Radeon HD 4250. Do I need to uninstall the 6770 drivers first?

    • Popular Windows 11 file manager Files gets improved tags, layouts, and new OneDrive icon

      I'm surprised they haven't found a way to fix that. As much as I don't like software wasting memory, a file manager is the kind of thing that makes sense to keep running in active memory for super-fast recall. I suspect that is why MS makes their File Explorer part of the main explorer.exe shell, so that it is guaranteed to always be running.

      Seriously 1.8gig....so what. Any computer, if you are going to do serious work on, in 2026 should have a mimimum of 16gig and I would say 32-64gig is the way to go.

      So again, you'd consider "I'm happy with my LG TV" to be a valid response to an article about PlayStation? I get the "I don't like any of their products" but how does that in any way invoke Linux? It just feels very random.
