| 811853 | 2009-09-20 04:52:00 | I tried all three of those ideas and I may have a little more info. 1) The nVidia fan is running good and the card is tight in the slot. 2) I played with the acceleration - but it didn't help. 3) Safe mode changed nothing. I bet the vid card is pooped out. Here's what I get to see: The desktop (for instance) loads and after a few moments the icons show up, they disappear and reappear again, only to repeat once or twice more until it all settles down. It looks like a dial-up page rendering if you ask me. I'm gonna try taking the card all the way out and rebooting, reinstalling it and rebooting again. Should I delete the drivers somewhere in the middle of that process too? |

| 811855 | 2009-09-20 05:33:00 | You could boot into safemode and get rid of the drivers from Add/Remove Programs. This is not an uncommon problem, sounds like the memory on the card is wasted. I've had similar happen on Geforce MX400 and a 6600GT. SJ guess your card is AGP? Guess it will be hard finding a half decent AGP these days. |
