Ive switched out my video card 3 times so thats not causing it. The orginal videocard had a heating problem but that wasnt causing it either as i had the same effect with all 3 cards. Cards tested were
Galaxy 8800GT 512mb OC Editon
MSI 9600GT OC Edition
Winfast 6200TC 16mb
Ive been having sata controller problems with the intel 965 motherboard after installing the 64 bit drivers for windows xp 64 bit. the drive would go crazy and shut off every seconds and the drive would restart (not the computer).
Pictures have yellow , blue , purple , and green little sqares all over them and flash related apps the bottom half of the app would be normal while the top half would be a giant smear of some type if color usually gray.
Ive reinstalled windows xp 64 bit 3 times all had the same result and it just started recently. I use firefox.
Games that have animated flash like videos or what ever such as gta iv when it starts has the same smear problem.
the processor is a Intel E7200 at stock clocks or 2.53ghz
i believe this is either the motherboard or the processor which ive already ordered a new motherboard as the 965 had sata controller issues the new board is an evga 780i.
ive switched out the ram the normal ram is 4 1gb sticks of 800mhz OCZ platinum.
the computer was bought on ebay..... and i got it at a price of $400 so i dont want to return it.
it has an alienware area 51 case. sony dvd rw drive
250gb western digital
sound blaster xtreme music
this cylinder shaped cpu cooler thats huge.
550watt psu
the old 965 mobo was also limiting the 8800gt because it could only use pcie x16 1.0 not 2.0.
this seems like a proccessor problem but does anyone know for sure?
