computer issue
    #8845938 - 08/29/08 04:39 AM (15 years, 8 months ago)

I'm posting this here since I think you guys would know best.  I recently got my computer back a few months ago.  I've been trying to replay old games I played before without problems, but this time the game start and soon crash to desktop and the screen is artifacted so I can't read text and theres all kinds of lines and dots all over the screen.  considering these games all played fine before, I think my gfx card is fucked up.  does this sound right?  I don't think it could be anything else.....  any opinions/suggestions?

Probably. Artifacts usually occur due to over heating. Try using HWmonitor to see the temperatures.
