Graphics Card f*ck up

[Tom Hagan]

Well, when I woke up this morning, I turn on my computer only to read that my graphics card has failed and if I would like to restart my computer. I restart my computer, and to my surprise, everything has a green box, or is completely green.

 

I circled a few in red, just for that little "umph".

 

 

and the icons in the recycling bin seem to be blurry...

 

 

 

 

 

Any suggestions on how to get rid of those wretched boxes and blurry icons would be a god sent. Thanks.

Have you been trying to overclock your graphics card? How about good ventalation fr your graphics card? Is it recieving enough power? What kind of monitor are you using? Please post your specs, and if possible, a link to that call of duty 2 wallpaper.

Download TweakUI from microsoft powertoys: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloa...ppowertoys.mspx

 

Theres an option in there to rebuild the icon cache. Try that.

Specs are:

 

ASUS X700 Series - Graphics Card

AMD Athlon 64 3500+ - Processor

 

I have an LCD monitor, 19 inch I think. I got the wallpaper off of google, but here's a link to it. BAM!

 

If you need a certain spec let me know, I don't really want to type EVERYTHING out unless it's needed.

 

I downloaded that tweak thing, but can't seem to find that option.

 

EDIT:: I just found it, and you are right. The icons look like they've lost colour, but who gives a f*ck, anythings better than that green sh*t. Thanks very much for the help.
