GPU temps are fine at sit between 54 and 62 degree's. also this problem began when i was using some older drivers, i've installed the latest from nvidia site and problem is still happening. currently i'm leaning towards the mobo being at fault and am rather concerned by the capacitors that seem...

i'm having some issues with my computer atm. it is absolutely fine for net browsing and everything else just when i start any games within around 3 minutes or so of actual play time the screen will freeze for a few seconds and then run again but the graphics will be screwed with random glitches...

ok my mums laptop has suddenly stopped booting to windows. it will get to the windows loading screen but will stay on this screen for a long time and then after that will go into a cycle of; Red>Green>Blue>White>Black and just constantly repeat this cycle. the laptop is a Dell inspiron 5160...

ok i committed the crime of purchasing an 8600gts a while back in an emergency situation ( old graphics card died and was only thing i could get my hands on straight away). so now i'm looking at getting a real card and have stumbled upon dabs.com - MSI GeForce 8800GT 512MB DDR3 PCIE Dual DVI...

i've got an 8600gts and with regards to playing crysis i think i've got it at lowe/medium settings you're best bet atm is probably and 8800gt i hear they're pretty good

sorry ericb but recently i've only had internet access for around 5 minutes every day or so due to having to use the connection in university as i am yet to get a connection in my new place. so if you could repost i would be very grateful as i must have missed you're post when it was there last.

PSU is a 500w one i got a while ago now and can't remember the make but i'm sure its not really one of the big names. and with regards to the q9450 i think i'll have to look into that seeing as its going to be around the same price as the q6600 now but then the 6600 will obviously be even...

ok i've currently got: amd 3700+ some cheap nforce 4 sli mobo. PNY 8600gts (was going to get the 8800 gts but due to my old 6800gt dieing on me this was the only card i could find quickly) i've already got some new memory for a new board ( corsair xms2 pc6400, i think) and wonder what...

hmm how much is an exterior thing going to cost me to plug the HD in as USB and surely if the other IDE HD is working it won't be a problem with the connection on the mb or the cable? ok may be a bad idea here but what does anyone say about starting the computer with the HD connected to the...

the jumpers are set correctly i'm quite sure of that and its showing as the slave in the post diagnosis

ok current problem is that my hard drive with all my music and useful programs and other crap just won't work anymore after reformating my main hd with windows on. originally i had windows installed on a 36Gb WD raptor, and 80gb WD with random stuff on and my 300Gb samsung which is the new...

well guys gonna get back to the house and see if i can get it going. thanks for the help and i'll try check back in with updates in a few hours

no the card is not overclocked, and although the card can get rather warm i have seen no abnormally high system temps since this happened or anything else to explain overheating, i'll see if the card needs de-clogging of dust or something when i get back to it, as i'm stuck on a computer in uni...

having a problem with my display at the moment on the desktop there are random areas of red and green pixelation which if i run a window over they will pretty much consume the window, its kind of hard to explain. also pretty much all games are quite unplayable due to random graphical glitches...
