It ended up being my video card. I went ahead and replaced it with a 8800gt. I used an endangered 939 socket motherboard I found at Goodwill, lol. I'll tell you guys how it turns out.

I bought this card when it first came out. It's the Nvidia manufactured one. I was on the bleeding edge back then, lol. The warranty is expired :( I'm going to try thermal paste, and get back to you guys by this weekend. I really appreciate all the help. I've been registered to this forum for...

Thanks guys. I'll try that. If it also helps, I can boot into safe mode (by blindly using the keyboard after POST), and it looks fine. I've tried Driver Cleaning and rebooting. Same results.

good idea. just checked it, and blew out the dust using compressed air. still same. :(

I have a 6800 gt that I've had for a while. Starting two days ago, I started getting artifacts on the screen. I tried re-installing drivers and cooling down the card. It got better. Then, all of sudden, while playing Company of Heroes, it started crashing. Now when I start the computer, the POST...

My friend just got a BenQ FP202W monitor today and for some reason the DVI doesn't work. Everything is plugged in correctly, but for some reason when he switches the monitor to DVI mode it just says it gets no signal. He's using a Radeon X800 Pro video card. If anyone can help, it'd...

My friend recently bought a GeForce 6600GT Overclocked graphics card with 128MB GDDR3 ram by BFG Tech (runs on a PCI-express slot). He's met all the system requirements for it, including having a 350w power supply, however sometimes a window will pop up saying that there is not enough power...

I know more pipes = better. But what exactly are they, and what do they do? Can someone give me the gist of it?

Sir, you have my special thanks!

I try to boot ANY nvidia drivers for my 6800gt (and my MX 440 card that I know works). I boot comp. I get past Windows XP logo screen. Then the screen goes black. I can hear the Windows booting music, so I know the comp is working! It's such a tease. I can access the comp through safe mode...

Would anyone be so kind as to post up links to benchmarks and reviews of the eVGA 6800GT?

ah how 'bout something like doom 3, or of that nature?

Would this card be recommended? http://www.ajump.com/ajump/product.asp?dept%5Fid=2730&pf%5Fid=0840151 Is there a big difference in 256mb and 128mb cards?

question, what's a good thermal paste to use on the gpu? a specific arctic silver?
