(repost as I got no love in the other thread.)
HI all, Im having a continued problem even after the update. I was loving my g73 & having no problems. I even played my game a few times then all of a sudden these artifacts like static were popping up all over. I did the vbios & saw it update. Now anytime I run my game, Eve-Online, I get the artifacts again & then after the game is off I still get random micro artifacts, smaller then the ones in the game.
This only starts happening when I play eve & wondering if it might be a game /to card issue? I have never had this before & I have owned 10 different cards over the years.

I have no heat issues & never had a grey screen. Just popcorn size artifacts.
I searched for this issue in every term possible & read 8 pages of this thread. I hope I didn't go over someone else's answer.

Thanks for your help in advanced!

Namaste,
IdeaJason

We could use some more info:

1) What vBIOS version do you have installed?
2) What motherboard BIOS is installed?
3) What ATI Catalyst is installed?
4) Have you ever updated DirectX?

What should be installed is :

1) vBIOS 012.020.000.032.0383352
2) BIOS 211
3) Catalyst 10.12 WHQL
4) DirectX June 2010 Update available here

I have checked & updated what needed to be updated & am still having the issues. The one thing I find odd is that it only starts when I play a game, then after I exit the game I still have artifacts on the desktop.

I'm also about to put in a new momentus xt hybrid drive & 2gb ram, wondering if I should do that before trying to fix this problem.

Still same Vid problems after vbios update. Artifacts during game.
