Graphic flickering and constant crashing

[dinko1989]

Hey everyone

Been having some graphical issues with rift so far..My major two concerns are:

1. random places on the screen the graphic tends to "flicker" . sometimes it stops immideatly but sometimes
I need to alt+tab out and into the game again, for it to be fixed..
2. the game keeps crashing! or to be more precise, the pictures freezes, making turn off the computer manually
the only option left.. (the sound keeps playing)

ok, there is something wrong with my graphic card, but what? every other game on my com runs perfectly and shows
none of these signs, and my drivers are updated. I have a Nvidia Geforce 9800 GT.

Anyone experiencing the same issue(s)? And does anyone have a possible solution??

Thanks in advance

Sound like the video card is overheating. Perhaps look into an aftermarket cooler?
Something like this:

Though, newegg is out of stock on it right now, perhaps somewhere else has one?
