TV3D 6.5 Demo c++ Project creates checkered distortions in the screen

[EngineQuestions]

I'm not sure if this is my monitor, graphics card, or something else, but when I start the c++ template project of TV3D 6.5 everything is fine for the first minute or so.

Then the screen erupts into a checkered blue and red distortion pattern.  If I reset my computer, it shows up while my computer is booting up (on the motherboard and bios screen), but if I turn off my computer, wait a few moments, then turn it back on, it's back to normal.

I'd like to post a picture but I don't have a digital camera.  If I find one I'll post it here.

video card overheating?

[EngineQuestions]

TV3D 6.5 project template is the only app running.  I've run countless high-performance games and have never had this happen before.  I'm getting 1244 fps on the standard black window, and it only distorts after about 1 minute of use.  Then my computer freezes.

Here's my specs:

Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.00 GHz
1.5 GB RAM
P4IPE Soyo Motherboard
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 256 MB Video Card
Windows XP Operating System

Currently desktop resolution:  1280 x 1024 (32-bit)(60Hz)

Hope some of this helps.


(Note:  Demo projects run fine (from the website with the meshes and lighting, etc.), it's just the template project.  Does TrueVision check for correct display adapters and enumerate 3D hardware components?

Maybe it's going to fast for the 3D card indeed.

Can you try to force VSync if it's possible from the driver control panel ?
