Title: Grafix card broke?
Post by: Cross on January 21, 2008, 12:12:24 pm
Sup guys, yesterday i faced some problem i never had before.
I was just browesing the internet, and then all of a sunnen my PC gets strange collours and dots in my screen.
First i was thinking it was my monitor, but when i checked it, it wasnt.
So i was gonna play a game, but after 2min, strange lines come out of my guy and collours in my screen.

I mean WTF, that isnt supose to happen, and i have no idea what to do about it.
Sometimes it happens, and sometimes i doesnt, it makes no sense.

I only think its my Grafix card, but if you guys have other opinions tell me.

.. the cable to your monitor is loose

if your using a DVI cable, then the colors would be random all over.

VGA would be all over, one color either Red Green or Blue tint. which is it? if none.. be more specific

If it was that it would effect the whole screen not just that one game.

Why use Pics

ok here is what my Suggestion is... Turn the computer off... Take Graphics Card out.. Make sure its ok... Clean the dust off... Put it back in.. make sure its in.. Plug any cables needed...

Turn computer on.. Play the game... see what happens...

umm if that doesnt work.. try Reinstalling the Drivers for the Graphics card... if that doesnt work.. Sickness?
