I have a ATI 98000 PRO 128mb card. Had it for two years with no problems. I play Americas Army with it and it runs great. Yesterday I fired up the game and I am getting a flicker, shut down the game and the desktop and other software run fine. The only time I am getting the flicker is with America's Army. Any ideas? Thanks in advance
 
Sorry 9800 PRO 128mb not 98000, lol
 
It might be overheating due to dust buildup or cooling fan slowdown.
 
I did blow everything out and still having the problem, could this be a issue with the powersupply. I questions this beacause everything else is fine, and only when I play americas army do I run into problems. I have a 300 watt powersupply and its older. Could that be the problem?

The usual?
Latest ATI drivers installed?
Latest DX9c installed
Latest AGP drivers (chipset drivers) installed?

And last but not least: the latest patches for this game installed? as it appears only this game is effected.
