you should also see how hot your laptop gets: from experience if the graphics card is inadequately cooled and gets too hot, it may cause symptoms as you mentioned - it certainly happened to me before

Re: Graphical error
It's a vsync issue. Open your ATI Catalyst Control Center and check 3D>All Settings --- there is a setting labelled "Wait for vertical refresh", slide the bar up to max quality aka "Always On". This should fix it, but may not as some applications override the basic GPU settings.
Linky. You don't have to read the article, but what you are experiencing is the second image correct? Vsync corrects that.

Re: Graphical error
Yeah, if it's really tearing that you're describing then vsync is your solution. Most games allow you to set that in their graphics options, but when they don't your only choice would be to force it in the driver as Psychonaut describes.
I recently built a new desktop PC for myself and when I reinstaledl DragonAge, I experienced bad tearing until I enabled vsync in the games graphics options.

Re: Graphical error
Psychonaut, I'm having trouble finding my catalyst center. Where exactly is it?

Re: Graphical error
There should be a link to it in the start menu. The shortcut should be called 'CCC', if it's not there the actual exe should be at 'C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static\CLI.exe'.

Ok.... for some reason, my ATI Tech folder is.... empty.

Re: Graphical error
Ok, figured out the catalyst center issue. Got the setting changed. However, the issue still persists, same as before.
