atrain Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 is the fan on your video card working stuge? it looks like a problem with the card not with the drivers. do you have another card you can swap out to see if the same effects happen?

atrain Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 i'd say something got damaged when you cleaned the dust out, it could have been anything, even a small static build up.it's what i expected as the same thing once happened to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jadeclaw Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Unless you want to run the latest games, a GeForce 6200 is more than adequate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
