chammy 7 Posted June 4, 2003 I just bought a new mother board,an Epox,NForce2 chipset with AMD Athlon XP 2400+.I have an ATI Radeon 7200 and loaded the latest drivers.The mother board comes with the Direct X 8 already in.The game or games seems to run really well at start.Then later the textures and objects start to turn blothcy,sound starts to get speradic,and frame rates start to drop and this happens off and on untill it just locks up.Then I have to wait a bit and I can escape.With Delta Force,same thing,but it makes my computer restart.I am thinking either,BIOS still isnt set right with the graphics card or my graphics card is ready to poop out.I mean,what do you think?An error messege comes up later after the computer starts up again saying the problem is lying in the graphics card.I've had the card for at least a year or 2.Oh yeah,and I'm using WinXP Pro.

chammy 7 Posted June 4, 2003 Oh,I had the same problem and I am hoping it isnt the source,but I had a Hercules Prophet 4000 and it gave out also.Turns out the the cooling fan burned onto the chip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
