System specs:
Asus NForce4 A8NSLI-Deluxe Mobo
Athlon 64 3500+
Asus 6600GT 128MB PCI-e Video card (just one, running in non-sli mode)
1GB Kingston DDR3200 (2 dimms)
160GB HD
Windows XP Pro-SP2
17" KDS CRT
What works:
Dxdiag Direct Draw (2D) works fine
Some basic games i assume do not require 3D acceleration runs fine
Basic computer functionality is fine (word processing, chatting, internet)
What doesn't:
Doom 3 and Spellforce (massive polygon flickering... hard to describe it other than constant black polygon flickering across the screen, depending on where i look, it changes)
.avi and .ogm video files. They play... sorta... the sound comes out, the display either locks into one of the initial images and flickers, or just shows garbage. Tried WM player and VLC Media Player, same result
Direct 3D (through DXdiag), the "spinning cube" flickers randomly and only looks vagueling like what it should (somewhat looks like it's spinning ultra ultra fast, or it's not really spinning at all and it just flickers, depends on how you look at it)
Here's the situation. Built the computer back in February. Worked fine for a couple months. Then one day, come back, display is black, computer running, can't get it to come back. Restart computer, get "system failed VGA test" boot error, so it doesn't boot. RMA the 6600GT and get a new one back. Install it, runs fine. Run some video files i moved off my laptop, they work fine, then suddenly around the 10th file or so (.avi) the video suddenly scrambles and hasn't worked since. Ignored it for the time being, tried to play some DOOM3, and it's got problems. That's when i realize something's up. Tried other things, troubleshooting, didn't work.
What i've tried:
installed new detonator drivers from nvidia website
installed omega drivers to see if those work
tried to update DirectX 9.0c (but i already had it, so it didn't change anything)
changed resolutions and game settings
Yelled loudly and beat my desk a few times
Help?
