I've got a wee problem. I am getting jagged polys shooting all over the place, plus I have got vertical blue combing. It is also interesting in that it occurs sporadically, I go for a few days, up to a week without problems, and then all of a sudden it becomes un-playable, I cant see anything its so bad. My graphics card is a ATI All-In-Wonder 9800 pro, I've got the latest drivers, and Direct X 9.0. Any ideas?

when it happens, have you been playing for a while? I have really only seen this usually when the card overheats and starts erroring. Check the fan to make sure it's still spinning, and blow out the heatsink. If you don't have a side case fan blowing in on the card, it's a good thing to add.

I got the same effects on my Radeon 9500 when the memory of the card would overheat. You should check into some better cooling for your computer case. This problem will turn up a lot more often in summer.
