my graohics card on its way out?

funkysnair · 07-12-2008, 05:16 PM

take a look at the pics

this is dual screen but a copy of main screen (i dont wnat that)

this is what happens when i choose them to be indipentant of each other

this is what happens every now and again no matter what the settings are

it will operate ok until i go play cod4 then when i exit i get the distortion-! its all random but its only on dvi port 1

any ideas?

all newest drivers are being used

anyone-help?

wait i recognize the pattern it is from erm ram

when i fitted new ram into my system (went from 1gb or 2gb) it came up with the exact same pattern

i could have told you this in msn but i felt like getting another 1 in my post count

try swapping your ram out and around

funkysnair · 07-12-2008, 06:03 PM

do you think my ram is on its way out?

im looking to upgrade it anyway lol!!!

ill have a go

So, it's fine till you play CoD4? What if you play CoD with both monitors the same?

funkysnair · 07-12-2008, 06:37 PM

its all hit and miss!!!

i just played cod4 with both and it was fine, yesterday i played it with one monitor and it went fuzzy!!!!!

only seems to be dvi port 1 that has the problem

Kornowski · 07-12-2008, 07:05 PM

If you swap 'em around, does it happen to the other monitor, ie, same port?

funkysnair · 07-12-2008, 11:26 PM

yes its the same port

Kornowski · 07-13-2008, 07:09 PM

Hmm, that's a pain! So, it's only happening when you play CoD4?

funkysnair · 07-13-2008, 07:41 PM

no-when i select dual monitor (indipendant) my main screen goes fuzzy-

and when i play cod4 its fine but when i close the game down it goes fuzzy?

it was going fuzzy when i tried to open cod4 but now its only when i close it down-its on its last legs in my opinion
