Hi there,
I have a 3 year old XP computer with an Nvidia 7900GS graphics card and I think that the graphics card is starting to go a little bit faulty and I am seeking some advice.
Here are a couple of problems I am having:
1. While performing normal day to day activities on the computer (like on the internet) I sometimes notice a faint straight pink dashed line that appears over white backgrounds. I noticed it again the other day while installing a program and while moving the program window around the screen, the pink line was moving with it, so I could practically draw pink lines all over it.
2. Sometimes while playing full screen games (especially Tomb Raider 7+8), I get random distortions of flashing lines and patches on the screen. In cinematics, there are quite a few flashing white or red dots that appear on the screen, and after exiting the games, the desktop is also polluted with quite a few green/blue/red dots. The dots do not cover the screen (they are just patched around in various places.) If I open a window on top of them, they disappear.
- I am alreading seeking advice from a Tomb Raider forum about the games and they said that it was possible that my video card was overheating or I had overclocked it.
Could anybody help on this matter -- it is greatly apprecited!
