Greetings All Was wondering what you all thought about the following issue I am having. While playing Vanguard, I all of a sudden got artifacts on the screen then computer froze. I rebooted and everything was fine. I checked gpu temp, it was fine along with all other temps. Using Windows & btw. Then went back into VG again and same thing happened. So I shut down the computer and checked everything out. Fan on card working fine, cpu, fine, all looks normal. So I boot up to desktop and after about a minute computer freezes up. So I am thinking maybe it's a software problem and it's giving me bsod. So I reboot and this time into Windows XP and the same thing happens. So now I reboot and go into Safe Mode. And everything is fine and no freeze up or anything for like 20 minutes, then I get colored lines down the screen. Any ideas? Thinking it's hardware or maybe driver issue but if a driver issue why is it doing it in both OS? Thanks for any help. Plan6M
Thanks for the response Tsu. I hope it's not the psu, just bought it a couple months ago, but you never know. right now I am still in safe mode and still going, although still have the lines on the screen, no freeze ups. I have a 7800 GTX I am gonna po in and see what happens. This also happens during boot up. The boot screen gets all jumbled up.
