Also on Windows 7 startup usually the spinning icon animation for booting up windows (the three spinning circles) looks fine. From login screen onwards it's usually garbled and/or low res with bad colours. | CaptainVincent (76) | ||

Pull the heatsink and everything off even if you're game enough (Lets be honest it's as good as dead as-is, so what do you have to lose?) and then use a can of compressed air to blow out the heatsink / fan :) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
