Good day. well, it goes like this:

this problem just arose maybe a couple'a weeks ago... while i was gaming on my pc the screen just turned into garbled images and it just stayed like that and hung on me. dismissing it as faulty game installatiion, i played another game. it happened again. i tried switching drivers, changing my PSU to a better one but it still the same. what im thinking is my videocard is the culprit. or maybe my mobo. you see, i was using a cheap PSU a while ago, my +12v reading in speedfan was only 7.33v. i know this was not healthy and i thought maybe a PSu change would remedy my problem. but now, i changed it to a better, more reliable PSU but the readings doesnt change. +12v= 7.33v still. could it be that my mobo is the culprit? or do i just have a faulty videocard? i hope someone here helps me. thanks a lot.

I had a 512mb stick of memory that started to go bad and the screen would do the samething playing BATTLEFIELD VIETNAM and BATTLEFIELD 2, but would be fine surfing the net. It ONLY did it when all the memory was inuse...
