Weird graphical glitch.

[windows_x_seven]

Hi, guys.

I noticed this glitch recently, tried searching but haven't found anything similiar.

Anyone know what is this and what could be causing it?

It doesn't affect KSP only, it also affects other games such as TF2 and CS2D's map editor.

In KSP, RPM's MFDs also suffer from this. When I choose something (let's say, Attitude) and and go back to the Standby page, the checkered pattern is on the MFD's screen.

I use a laptop, so as you might expect, the configs aren't really optimal. But it runs alright.

OS: Windows 7 Professional SP1, 64bit

Processor: Intel Celeron 2955U (Dual Core, 1.40Ghz each)

RAM: 4gb

"Graphics Card": Intel HD Graphics

Halp?

probably outdated drivers, other then that malfunctioning/overheating hardware

I'd try updating the drivers first, but it does look like a problem with the actual card. Turn off the computer and jiggle the card a bit, or pull it out, swipe the golden contacts with a cloth damped with alcohol and blow some canned air (do not blow, that air is moist) into the socket. Plug the card back and if it still doesn't work, something is wrong with the card itself.

I updated the drivers and the glitch is still there.

Well, looks like I'll just have to live with it, since it's Integrated Graphics and I'm using a laptop.

Thanks, guys.
