Computer Gaming woes (glitches)....help plz!!!

[jbadboi]

Hello Folks,

Hey i have a big problem with my laptop. Whenever i start to play games on it the screen starts to get all glitchy and stuff. This only happens

while i am playing video games. I hope these pics below will give you a better idea of what im talking about. Also take note of how it effects

the desktop, the glitch effect isn't limited to the game itself. Even after ending the game the effects from it are still present. In fact

scrolling/dragging things seem to make it worse. Some times it gets so bad that i can't even read what is on the screen, thus leaving me with no

choice but to restart my computer. WHenever i restart my laptop the glitch problem goes away but then returns when i start up a new game.

Within the pictures is a picture that will give you an idea of my computers specs, also here is a link that will give you a better idea of the

computer itself.

THankz in advance....

Check to see if you have the latest drivers for your video device and perhaps your games if they have an update function...

yeah i have the latest drivers for the video...

i kind of ran a test on it today. I played a game from a dead cold start up. What kind of surprised me was that it didn't glitch up at the part that it usual did but then soon enough it started to glitch up, and to top it off the system wasn't even hot (but it did take a while to glitch up as compared to before). It was cold-warm at the time of the glitch, but it was getting a little hotter though. I stopped after about 5-10 minutes or so and by the time i stopped my system was already screwed (needing the restart) and the laptop was warm (not hot).
