Not sure if this should be in 'hardware', but are there any utilities out there (ideally freeware) that tell you everything you need to know about your graphics card and/or some sort of diagnostic for error checking?
u can try going to the start menu click "run" and type DxDiag and press enter that should bring up some info on ur card and lets u perform some standard DX testing on ur card and also go to google and type CPU-Z and download that prob and that should also have some info for u about ur whole computer
