That's what it should look like if you have an ATi4850, the overall temperature being the third one down
Also go back to the graphics card tab and tell me the driver version, thanks

Hi everyone,
iam having the same problem. I had this problem in ArmA 1 also, but very rare, so i did not further investigate it. But now, when i saw this thread i did some tests and recorded also a video.
It seems not to be a temperature problem. My ATI 4850 HD 512 MB is watercooled and is not reaching high temperatures. Take a look yourself:
Max temperatures during playing ArmA 2 and getting the graphic error:
Temperatures a few seconds after going out from Arma 2 with ALT+Tab back to Windows:
I know that problems do happen when you overclock your card, so i have disabled the overclocking to exclude this error source. I think the problem here is when there is too much work todo for the graphics card, but hey, this is just speculation, i have no idea how graphic cards work. My graphics game settings are at normal, when setting them to very high, the graphic error does come faster and is more intensive. When setting all graphic settings to low, the error does not occur.
Also interesting, as you can see in the video, only the 3D things are affected by the error. The 2D overlay images (team member avatars, comunication menu) are being displayed properly.
Here is the video: (errors start from 0:40 seconds)

31 MB, Flash Video, just open it with your media player, should work. If not, say a word and i will upload it in a another format.
I hope someone can help with that.
*edit*
This is with the newest ATI driver. I had it updated yesterday when the problem did occured the first time at Arma2. I thought it could be a driver problem, but it does also happen with the actual driver.

Hi Ginger. Its great not to be the only one. Looks exactly like mine.Originally Posted by Ginger McAle
Sorry craig I can only see the first two bars "GPU Core Clock" and "GPU Memory Clock". The Version is "ati2mtag 6.14.10.6903 (Catalyst 9.1) /XP
I did say upgrade your drivers as you have 9.1's the current are 9.5, But did you say that it wouldn't install or was that just the control center?
You can download just the drivers by themselves no control center, its hard to tell what the problem is game/GPU/drivers etc, I have to go nowhope you can fix it

Yea i know. I tried that the last 4 hours. Now I remember why I hate windows. I tried every version of the driver and the CC and its always the same messege. But anyway after Gingers statement its propably not heatrelated.I did say upgrade your drivers as you have 9.1's the current are 9.5, But did you say that it wouldn't install or was that just the control center?

Ye I guess that's annoying you can't upgrade your drivers, it really can benefit if you upgrade em, especially when they release more after ARMA2 is released worldwide
Check out the AMD game forums, see if they can help with your driver trouble

Also owning a HD4850.The boxed fan just sux badass what often ends in Display Problems.
In my thing it was still not the problem...^^I thought about checking the air rotation in my computer and i saw that the graphic card(its only 5 month old) had terrible much dust in the van so the card was gettin damn hot.After i cleaned that my temperature nearly lowered about 15Degrees^^and i had no Problems no more lol.maybe u check that before
Hi Himmelsfeuer ... my computer is mearly as new so I doubt there should be much dust allready.
Yea but thanks anyway. Maybe I will try to reinstall Windows later and see if that fixes the driverproblem.Ye I guess that's annoying you can't upgrade your drivers, it really can benefit if you upgrade em, especially when they release more after ARMA2 is released worldwide

Folks, alt-tabbing from game back to GPU-z won't display actual load temp of the card. You need to enable logging by clicking "Log to file". In A1 I had that problem, logged temps and they were pretty high. I manually set fan in Catalyst to 35-40% and it was cured.
Make sure your case is properly ventilated. Meaning: at least 1 intake fan and 1 exhaust. If possible always go for 12cm ones. Some single slot cooler GPUs don't exhaust hot air out of the case - that leads to heat build up. You might have other parts of GPU over-heating too (VRAM for example) and there is no sensors for it.
i had something like that with ARMA1 before, with AGP ATI card. I solved it at CMOS settings, cant remember where, but it's something like video memory (or somthing) and set it to maximum of the card memory. default was set at 64mb. my card was 512mb by I can only set it to 256mb and that solve the problem. Last time i think the term of this bug is called "graphic artifacts"...
pls note I dont have ARMA2. but the screen look something lik i had with ARMA1 so I figure that might help
