Neh..that is really weird :eek:
Is this always happened every time you used slice tool or modeling a polygon ? ATI Rad's 8500 ?

Lets see :

1. Reduce AGP speed downto 2X (BIOS)
2. Try not to overclock your processor or GPU
3. Use latest drivers for VGA and motherboard

em, It doents always happen when I cut poly surface...
but it does always happen when moving the vertex from the cuting edge...moreover... my computer hardware's drviers are all up to date.....
and yes, my graphic card is ati rad's 8500
do I need to purchase a new and faster one instead?

Maybe your CPU is over heating, do you watch what kind of temp it has when it start behaving weird.
