Michlo Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 CLOSURE: It turns out that the problem was indeed my video card, on it's last dying legs. I think it is the 3650 I got, for several recommended reasons. It is slightly better than my last card, which was great til it died. It is known for its durability and heat resistance ... no fan, just the largest heat sink I have ever seen on a video card (takes up 2 card slots, heat sink about the width and length of the card, and half inch thick, but most of the sink is raised away from the card itself. Anyhow, the help and encouragement of people on the forum kept me going, and resulted in me going out to replace the video card with confidence that it was necessary. The computer store I deal with has been great, and now the video card is their problem (totally) for another year. Thanks again to all. P.S. please never underestimate the value of your encouragement to people, or your advice. Your "attitudes" and "expertise" make a big difference, even when it seems otherwise. :) Madeira, I'm so glad it worked out for you. I've already given a kudo to your main PC Doctor there, hehe but I think you deserve one too for your wonderful sentiments. Now let's hope the only streaking you see is the NPCs after you add in the new body mods! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
