Re: Artifacts? (getting worse!!! help please!)

I see a glitch or streak of yellow brown or gibberish color every once in a while. (20 seconds to 3 minutes) and it's bothering me that after 4 years my laptop is finally dying but i need my laptop to last longer is my graphics card really dying?

Edit: (it's been getting worse! usually happens when i have windows media player open in background doing absolutely nothing) but it still happens when everything is closed and only FH is running. switching from fullscreen to windowed mode doesn't make much of a difference (a tiny bit less but it still happens) I still see yellow lines or silver streaks of random color but it only happens for an instant then disappears so i cant get a screenshot of it sorry i need to know if my graphics card is dying or not! it's integraded and 4 years old. everything in my laptop is 4 years old nothing changed or replaced not even the battery. the battery is dead and wont hold a charge though Please help me this is serious! the game runs at a perfectly smooth 60FPS but i still see these lines of color :(

Well, can we have a screenshot of the problem? It could be that your graphics card doesn't meet the standard.

its impossible to get a screenshot because it wouldn't show the graphics glitches in the screenshot and my graphics card is way plenty fast enough ati radeon 3100 most maps run smooth as butter on the highest settings but i still see glitches every once in a while. it looks like a steak of color (any random color mostly) but only for like a 10th of a second really fast and it's really ticking me off to think my graphics card is dying. i've been playing FH for months and months without a problem but now it's starting to get artifacts. I absolutely do not have the money for a new computer so that is out of the question. is my graphics card dying?
