I have a P4 3.2 GHZ, 512 RAM with a 9800x radeon card.
All in all, an ok machine.
Anyway, when I’m playing Doom 3, I keep getting white specs on the screen, some to the point where it makes the game unplayable. Sometimes the specs are red dots.
I’m no wizard when it comes to computers, so is there anything I can do to rid the small white dots?
Seems like a graphic card problem?
Any simple solution. Does the 1.1 patch sort this out? Any simple soloution?
This is frustrating and wrecking my enjoyment of this game.
Cheers

I haven't touched the card. Ever. It's a Radeon 9800pro.
I haven't downloaded any drivers either. Still the same drivers from when I first bought it.
Anyone else get these white specs/dots on screen?

I used to get them with my old card. It's what's been said. It's overheating.
Download the latest drivers, but that'll not solve the problem.
Clean the fan on the card, leave the side of the case off and give it another crack.

Doom3 doesn't use the source engine. ;D
Half-Life 2 does though :D

But he didn't mention HL2. Just Doom3. Parp! :D
