Hello there,

A very [color=yellow]annoying[/color] problem I have nowdays while using the pc...!!

I bought a new [color=yellow]Graphics[/color] Card ([color=orange]GeForce FX 5500 256MB[/color]) a month ago and ive had this problem ever since.

[color=red]Problem:[/color] The problem [color=orange]only[/color] occurs while playing games, such as [color=red]QUAKE III[/color] or [color=cyan]MOHAA[/color][color=#fffffe]. [color=black]I enter the game, and after a[/color] [color=cyan]couple[/color] [color=black]of[/color] [color=orange]minutes[/color][color=black], the screen just[/color] [color=red]freezes[/color] [color=black]and after a few[/color] [color=black]seconds it[/color] [color=magenta]quits[/color] [color=black]the game. If I was to[/color] [color=magenta]re enter[/color] [color=black]the game after this, the screen goes all[/color] [color=magenta]black[/color] [color=black]with fizzy[/color] [color=red]black[/color] [color=black]stripes. I[/color] [color=sandybrown]cannot[/color] [color=black]even view[/color] [color=yellow]video[/color] [color=black]files[/color][color=black] (.[/color][color=yellow]mpeg, .mov etc..files[/color][color=black]). [/color][color=black]Basically[/color] [color=yellow]NO MORE[/color] [color=black]games or video untill i[/color] [color=orange]restart[/color] [/color][color=black]the pc. [/color]

[color=slategray]Here is an example of what the screen looks like when everything is normal & messed up: [/color]
