Plaid Screen
« on: July 26, 2006, 09:25:49 PM »
Hi guys, I was playing a video game on my PC today when all of a sudden my screen turned into a bunch of lines, that I can only describe as being a plaid pattern.  I hit the power to turn off my pc and when it rebooted the same lines were all over the screen again, and I was unable to see anything on screen much less do anything about it.  I think windows still loaded, but I could hear my PC rebooting after a few mins.  Do you think that my graphics card is not working or is it something else.  Thanks.

    The first thing  i would look at is the GFX card, See if you can Borrow one form some one and give it a go.

    But first Reaseat the one you have , ie take it out and put it in again.

    I may have overheated playing the game and Burnt out.

    How about some specifics about your equipment, it's age, what things have changed recently, etc. ?
