Hey CAG
As of right now my computer acting wierd to say the least...
It seems to have a problem playing certain games, while other games ran flawlessly (Call of Duty 4). In addition certain applications are taking a long ass amount of time to load.
For the first problem I sent in a RMA request which was accepted; however someone suggested if I simply reformat my hardrive I'd be fine. This leads me into my second problem I lost both my windows cd and my authorization code while I was moving back home (It was the OEM version). So I was thinking about calling Mircosoft and seeing if I can work something out. Do you think that my graphics card is defective or is it simply an error in windows?
The reason I believe that it's hardware related is because of the various graphical glitches that occur just before the game crashes ( yellow landscapes, distrotions etc.)
I realize that this is a lengthy, but I'd really appriciate any help that is given
Thanks
Btw Specs
1.8 Ghz Core 2 duo
Windows xp
2 gb ram
8800 gt
500 powersupply
I'd admit my room/case is pretty warm though nothing dangerously high
