The video card may just be outdated, and game > desktop> game my be too much stress for it. (sounds dumb, but it is stressful) Check what kind of video card your currently running. You can do this by going to start > run > type dxdiag > then click the "display " tab. Also, on the main tab of the 'dxdiag' youll see your processor and ram info. Post that as well so we can further help as much as we can Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/3862-help/#findComment-39052 Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted April 5, 2005 CID Share Posted April 5, 2005 I have had similar problems, also when booting up... When it happens, turn off your monitor and turn it back on, that has fixed it every time so far.... also, i have a 128MB 16x AGP card, so the card being outdated isnt a problem...
