Hi,

Whenever I play Guild Wars, my screen randomly messes up and looks like this:

I have to restart my computer in order to fix it. My video card is ATI Radeon Xpress 200m. I've already updated the drivers, and it hasn't helped. When it doesn't go all fuzzy like that, the images are beautiful and I hardly get any lag. Can anybody help me fix this?

Are you overclocking your video card, if so set it back to default.

Those white lines and black background look familiar.. I was having issue when warping where the screen would go black with white vertical lines that come back. It seemed to go away after I updated the video card drivers. Once it glitched and everything was non-viewable and I did have to reboot.

It was similar but I could not see anything at all when it glitched.

Yikes... I don't think I'm overclocking it, I don't know how to mess with speed settings. Is there anything to do if it is overheating? And if it's broken, then that's just not good because I'm on a laptop and I don't think you can update graphics cards in laptops...

Well you can see your temps in your drivers control panel (catalyst control center) or whatever ati uses, also if its not overheating try another drivers.
