The screen freeze, the screen get dropouts, the screen get mysterious effects.

And its same - in the normal viewer and the release version. No differance.

My comp gets slower and slower and then sudenly it dies on me or just stop working and it ONLY do this to me when I am using Second Life.

It has started the last week and have continued since this. Every day every second. It dosent matter if the comp are warm or newly started.

I always update by the Apple updater so all software are the latest.


Please help me I am getting sick by this, stressed, sad and furious.)

Hi, Tina. Whether by coincidence, same age cards reaching their ends together, or something else, a few 8800 owners are having varying degrees of trouble at the moment.

I had a splintered graphics display inside SL one day that didn't affect anything else. After shutting down, doing a little clean-up, and clearing cache it was fine (so far), and I won't do too much speculation until it happens again. My first thought, of course, was heat.

A thread about similar borkage is here: /111/7a/322787/1.html

The puters are all windows machines in that thread, but the cards are 8800s. It may be just adding confusion to your issue - if so, I apologise. On the other hand perhaps it reveals something about 8800s in general.
