Solve : video card problem .... i think?

Answer»

hi guys ,
do u remember my thread when i was choosin' between video cards .... anyway ... i bought the XFX 7300 GT ... it worked well for a month

then 2 days AGO something bad started to happen .... i was playing winning eleven ... and then colors started to diffuse together and strange colors APPEARED on the screen .... and this repeated every time i played since then ...

so is the problem with the video card or what ?Are you only having the problem when playing...Winning Eleven? :-?

Another thought.How does it work on your previous video adaptor?
The one before you got this new one.

Remember we are checking your video card/adaptor......

i dont face any problem for other applications and this is the only game i play nowadays ...

i bought a whole new PC not just the video cardSome things to try-
Disable "write combining" in display properties/settings/troubleshoot, this can solve some memory bugs that CAUSE odd behaivior.

Reduce Hardware acceleration, this can correct problems in specific games but must be manually turned back up after your finished playing the game.

Uninstall video drivers then install latest Nvidia drivers ,drivers here-http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_93.71.html Quote

1st of all .... when i press troubleshoot NOTHING happens !!!!!

2nd .... how to reduce HW acceleration .... i searched the whole Nvidia control pannel ... all i could find relevant to this is a compromise between performance and quality ... and screen refersh rate

finally , i installed latest driver ... but the problem still goes ...

plz guys help me with this .... any piece of advice is really appreciated MIDO.... Could you please list info on the new pc ..........?

you might want to try a different monitor on your computer and see if you have the same problem. also, try your monitor on another computer and see if the colours blend together on that computer. doing this will either absolve your monitor or your computer. Quote

i dont think it's the monitor .... coz this only happens with games but for other applications no color blending happens

plus ... the monitor is new .... about 2 years old .... and it never showed any disturbance with my old PCTry the above suggestion before you make a conclusion that may be inaccurate. You need to find out where the problem really is.now i am sure it's not the monitor .... i tried the monitor on another PC and it worked fine ....

btw , i didnt post my feedback earlier coz i was out of town ...

anyway , so what's next ?

i have a thought here :

my power supply is 300 watt o/p power , and the minimum power for my card is 350 watt .... could that be the problem .... i guess not because the card wouldnt have worked in the first place .... am i wrong ?
      
That's a good place to start.Sounds like a problem with the game... I am not SUPER familiar with video cards... But something very similar happened to one of my friends... But it turned out that he just bent some pins on his video card with his foot... Lawl... Anyway... I do not know what to say man... Sorry
