Oh yeah, good point I agree
I have seen this too, now I think of it

Integrated stuff usually isn't that good. If the puter will let you long enough, install the latest software and drivers for the graphics card.

Ok so is that the reason why everything is coming through as just pixels without texture?? Also how do I install the latest drivers and software?

Thanks

Alright I downloaded the latest driver or whatever it is, yet when I load up WoW it comes up still the same, a bunch of weird pixely stuff. Is there anyway I can take a screenshot of it to show you guys? I could use a camera too, but this would be easier.

I'm thinking it has to do with the RAM, so I'm going to take out the new RAM and put in the old RAM tomorrow. If that doesn't work, I'll let you guys know.

Let me make sure I got this right. So you where able to play all your games on this computer before with no problems correct. Then you got new RAM and 2 weeks later your games start messing up. So you gave your computer to a friend who was going to have it fixed and it came back in worse condition then it was before.

I wouldn't think that your computer would even be able to play games to start with. So that surprises me that your have been able to run your games smoothly. My guess is that you put so much strain on you graphics card that it has pretty much gone bad. Not allowing you to do any kind of heavy gaming.

Do a mem test and if everything comes up ok then I would say it is your GPU if you get errors then it is probably our RAM.

If the problem only occurs during 3D applications then ya its most certainly gotta be the integrated graphics card. Buy a cheap graphics card on newegg.com (either AGP, PCI, or PCI-Express depending on what your motherboard can handle) and disable your onboard graphics.
