Hi Guys
I tried a bit of overclocking on my system and upped the FSB to get my Athlon XP 1600+ to run at 1570mhz. Ever since all my JPG images are very blochy and of a poor quality. I also installed UTk4 at around the same time and it upgraded DirectX to 9.0b when it was installing. I'm ruling the UTk4 install out as a cause because i have 2 WinXP installs on 2 different partitions and the other untouched partition also has the blochy JPG images. The question i have is, have i damaged my graphics card by raising the FSB? Is this possible. any help would be great.

Did you lock the AGP bus prior to overclocking?

No, guess i should have. Hope its just the card and not the motherboard too thats damaged. To be honest did'nt know about the AGP bus thing.
