Well it all started when the fan in my video card started making a weird noises, like it was hitting the edge of something. After a few days of this all the visuals were screwed up. Everything was, the desktop, the internet and games all covered with patterns of mulicolored dots.
But then my brother messed around with the settings and got the desktop and internet back to normal but whenever I play games the mouse disappers the very second it stops moving. Also the screen is normal when I first start playing but after like 10-20 secounds of playing things start shooting triangles out from where ever they are and get WORSE the more I play(however when ever I minimize the game and reopen it it starts over).
Anyone KNOW of this? Is there anyway I can fix it or do i need to get a new video card? And if I do need a video card can anyone suggest a cheap ONE I could get? The most graphically intense game I play is probably half life 2.I think your graphics card is busted, try reinstalling the drivers and reseating it in the motherboard. If you're going to replace it get an nVidia GeForce 7 series card, you could probably get one for like $100 and it will run half-life 2 no problem.Thanks for the input. Got a guide that TELLS me exatly how to do that? Not computer savy. Or MABE you could let me know how?
