i have a AMD athlon 3500+, MSI K8N Diamond motherboard, Winfast 6600 GT 128 MB Extreme graphics card, 512 MB Kingston Value RAM, two Seagate 80 GB hard disk,powersafe 450 watts SMPS, altec lansing 5051R speakers and samsung 713n LCD monitor. I had assembled my computer in september.
Recently, while playing games like Age of Empires 3, Black & White 2 and Fable Etc, i have been experiencing problems with the display. it starts with triangular (sometimes some other geometric shapes) fluorocent green flashes appearing on random parts of the screen in brief intervals. then the number, and the frequency of the flashes increase till they are covering the whole screen and its is impossible to play.i have reinstalled the graphics driver a few times, but that dosent help. I have tried reducing the graphic settings to the minimum possible level (though i had been playing comfortably on the previous settings just a few months before), but that dosent help either. But when i switch to the desktop for a few seconds(Alt+Tab), then switch back again, the problem subsides for a few moments before starting all over again. This is really bugging me out. i would really appreciate help on this one.
Also, while playing some games like thief, and Splinter cell, at a certain
stage, the system reboots automatically, and then on start up it shows the
message - "windows has recovered from a serious error"..blah blah blah.
what the hell is wrong with my system ?
bail out this newbie!!!
