Sounds like overheating! If you're overclocking...slow it down a little.
If not, check your cooling fans. Bill Crocker "Chingy" wrote in message ... I need serious help doom 3 and weird white sparkle dots all over screen.

White dots in Doom3 were discused in this group several times
a few weeks ago. There are some solutions that help certain people. Try googling throu this group and you will see. In my case I don't see any so I can't help you more. "Chingy" wrote in message ...

As suggested, downclock your card a little. Use ATiTool for this. D3 pushes
your card, specifically memory. You can also try giving the card power through its OWN molex - i.e. not shared with anything else. But downclocking 10mhz or so will fix it.

My machine is 2.8 p4 2 gig RAm ATI 9800XT 256 MB Cheers It's likely defective - hopefully it's still under warranty. When I sent a description of the "sparkling" problem to ATI, they emailed me back with an RMA number. I mailed my 9800 back to ATI and a few days later they FedEx'ed me a new card which is working fine (knock on wood).
