Is this a graphics card issue?
Soul Sojourner:
That does sound most likely like a video card problem, I dont have much else to say other than whats already been said except, if all else fails and you need a new card, try Newegg, other than that try whats already been said. =D

I always forget the most simple advice first. Turn off your computer but leave it plugged in to keep it grounded. Open it up and pull out the video card and RAM and maybe the sound card for good mesure (assuming it isn't built into the motherboard) then reinsert them. Over time dust abd vibration can work slotted cards loose so they don't have a complete connection and it can cause odd problems.
Doesn't hurt to do the same thing with the hard drive/CD ROM controller cables.

--- Quote ---What graphics card are you using? If it is one of the GeForce 4 cards they are notorious for breaking due to overheating. If that's the case, I recommend a new card.
Also, Nvidia has been putting out some pretty sub-standard drivers recently so if you have a newest GeForce drivers that could be a problem. For instance, when I updated from driver ver. 56.64 to 66.94 it fixed my Guild Wars graphics glitch but made it so I couldn't play Diablo 2. When I reverted to an earlier version 61.76 it fixed both my problem with GW and with D2.

Nvidia seems to have done well with 77.77... Is it out of beta yet though?

My graphics card is some crappy one that is onboard i thnk or something. But yeah. I think the problem was just I haven't cleaned it forever. hahaaha. Massive ammounts of dust.
CleTus:
Now i got a new problem. It doesn't overheat anymore, but it half turns off. Like just randomly turns off. The button turns orange like it's idle, and I have to hold the button in to shut it off.... Anyone know what this is???
