Radeon 9700 problem

I think my card is on its way out

Has anyone got any idea why this happens?

It only happens on the source engine.

Any help appreciated

 

You say this only happens in the Source engine. If so, which game in particular
or do they all do this?
Is your card overclocked or is overheating?

 

Try updating your graphics drivers, or the latest patch for the game.

 

HL2 and episode 1

drivers are up to date.

It's a Connect3D Radeon 9700 equiped with an arctic cooler and overclocked to 9700 pro speeds although it will go much higher with no glitches.

It's been fine for the last two years and is still fine on every other game.

here's another screen
