Howdy!
I'm not entirely sure where to park this,(ie: Windows, Hardware, Motherboards,etc) but I'm leaning towards the GPU.

I have "GHOSTING" of the screen, and "NON-RESPONDING" messages,and that pesky blue circle timer just spins round and round. It's happening to me even with a new Hard drive.
I could be offline, or online it doesn't matter. I called nvidia and they told me it might be a GPU issue. They sent me a driver which might correct this buggy issue, but it's still doing it. Then they sent a link to try the "Video Card Stability test", which I ran for 9 hours, and all I got was a benchmark of 95. No other info.
I also called MSI (mobo maker) and he's heard of MSI's GPU's mimicking the same issues. I know it's frustrating, but 'hang' in there.....no pun intended.) I posted more on my problem here.
I really had some doozies a few weeks ago and spent alot of time rebooting, "Bootmgr missing", etc, did a Western Digital Lifeguard Diagnostic and confirmed bad unrepairable sectors on my boot drive, so I replaced with new HD, and re-installed Windows, drivers, etc., and still doing the same thing.
When I first built this system, I installed WinXP (32) I bought my GPU, and that was about four+ years ago, it may be the problem, if not, then what? I switched over to Windows 7 (64) PRO about two years ago, I have updated all 64 bit updates on all software/hardware.
I use Photoshop CS5, but before I install the Pinnacle Studio 15 Ultimate again, I'd like to find the source of these issues. It's very fristrating right in the middle of editing, it freezes.
I have also not reinstalled Firefox, which I prefer over IE, but that program, and the Adobe Flash player would freeze countless times over and over.
I know I should upgrade to the Intel Sandy i5. or i7, with new and improved 16-32GB DDR3 over my present 8GB DDR2, along with a new Mobo, and GPU. The Pinnacle Studio, and photoshop uses lots of memory. I want it to run smoothly.
Sooooo Ghosting and non responding.......what are the causes? No, Sorry, I do not have another computer to test this card in....I know someone would have asked this.
Care to share any ideas? Thank you!
