HRALP-Graphics Card Issue
 

Computer seems to explodes into pixels whenever anything graphically "intense" is being run. I usually have to reset a few times, restart it in safe mode, etc. to get it running properly again. Reinstalled graphics card, updated drivers, disabled graphics card, etc and nothing seems to fix it.

I'm assuming I need a new graphics card, but was wondering if anyone had some other suggestions....

Using a NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT.
Sometimes gives the error "Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered" before it proceeds to explode some more.

Some pretty pictures (that are way too big):

I'm a great model

I like that you still have my picture as your desktop.


But you need a new graphics card

This ^^

:(

Try baking the video card. Pre-heat to 400, put in for ~3-4 minutes. Take out. See if it works.


But yeah, you need a new card if the above won't work.

I agree, saying NSFW was brilliant even us people smart enough to know that wasn't gonna happen...........we still clicked to be safe o-O

I throw my cpu when it talks back to me......other then that Im lucky if I can turn it on and off o-O

Next to the cookies?

It's a proven method to work. It's not a permanent solution, though. Only lasts for about 2-4 months then it dies.

Should she grease the pan first?
