Lol, yeah, compressed air. It's a good idea to clean your system out on a regular basis anyway. --Graphics card specialist--

so after i done cleaning it should work properly? any tips when cleaning?

should i just air the fans of take the fan/fans out?

It *should work properly after you're done, but something may be faulty in your system so there's no guarantee's. Removing the fans isn't necessary or recommended unless you know what you're doing, just use the can of compressed air to blow around/through them. And make sure to get the heatsinks on your motherboard, CPU and video card as well. --Graphics card specialist--

what are heatsinks? and il just blow where its dusty and all ?=)

and should i clean back of my computer where all the wires are?

0

Nope, not necessary. But make sure that your fans have a clear path to exhaust the heat. --Graphics card specialist--

Update the drivers first and make sure it's not overheating. But this is typical for ATi junk. One game everything will run fine, than the next... well you see what happens. PowerMac 9600(1 ghz G4) 512mb RAM 50gb SCSI ATi 9200 PCI

This is actually a known graphics problem with the Sims 3. On some PC's it's worse that others, but everyone seems to be having this problem. It's probably something like the incredible stretching toddler. They used adult animations for the todders to socialise and watch television so they undergo a freakish body change when socialising. The game needs a patch, so you can do what I've done (but this is only on the sims themselves for me) just go to Edit Town and see if that clears it, or if it's a sim, have them change clothes.

still the same thing -.- i dont have this triangle in Gta 4 cs1,6 archlord need for speed most wanted navyfield men of war starcraft rainbow six vegas 2 Assassin's Creed but i have this in sims 3 dawn of discovery (Anno1404) and in godfather III

I am having the same problem with the sims3, and i just bought my pc so its clean and should be working just fine. windows 7 rc 7100 i7 920 2.67 4gb ram Radeon HD4870 (updated to latest driver) what could be the problem, it worked fine on a HD4850

Okay, I've done a wee bit of research. Based on the other games that ajamasin is having this problem with, I'd venture to say it's a pixel shader issue. I know that it happens with the Sims 3 and both Godfather II and Dawn of Discovery require pixel shader enabled graphics cards to run. Try saving, leaving and returning. Again, this does happen to me and if you check the forums it is happening to a lot of other people. It looks like it might be the graphics card but more specifically pixel shader being used in the game. I don't know much about this program. This happens to me but it's rare and completely intermittant. If this is happening to you constantly it's time to check your card temps while running the game and make sure you don't have a failure occurring.

if you are using an ATI graphic card then just restore the default factory setting of the catalyst control center and it will all be good ^^

0

how? do i change?

0

The catalyst control center is the program that comes with the ati, if u installed the drivers from the cd then it should be there. the red icon with ATI logo. just start the program, go to preferences and chose to restore factory default. Another way i have figured strangely when u load the game and start playing; it shows u the triangles right, i just minimized the game( windows key +m ) then restored it and it works fine. so i am not really sure what the problem is but that works with me.

0

windows key?
