1st post!

I just installed a new graphics card (BFG NVIDIA Geforce 6600 GT OC AGP) and I am having an odd problem, when I play Tiger Woods 2007, which I hope someone can help with. The game starts out fine, but after about five minutes it begins to display green shapes flashing/cycling/moving all over the player (only/usually). *If the player is fine - usually the screen behind the grass will go into this green light show effect(?).

I don't think it's a temperature issue - as the PC normally rests at about 33 or 34º and has only risen to about 45 or 46º when this happens - and it only happens during TW 2007. Oblivion IV, which I would presume to be much more demanding graphically, runs fine.

Frankly, I'm stumped. I've tried reinstalling drivers - and even the game ... (?)

Just for the hey, you may want to try using an overclocking utility and underclock the card. See if it gets any better. I do doubt that though. If the card is overheating or overstressed, Oblivion would more likely cause that.
