here is the video link: (will edit in when video is accepted by google video or youtube)


the problem is those yellow zig zag lines that come up!!

another thing that happens is that when i right click anything the screen goes black for like a second and then comes back!

is this my monitor, my graphics card or what??
my graphics card is XFX Nvidia Geforce 7300GS!
one thing i would like to point out is that the monitor has some broken wire, but this only happens in a game etc. the cpu is so busy only because of the recording software.

i don' think it can be my RAM because i have run call of duty 3 no problems. im not sure what it is. it never happened before.

should i try another monitor?

Try downloading the latest nvidia software drivers for your graphics card
http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp

Also try updating your motherboard drivers.
If you are still having problems try borrowing someones monitor to check if yours is faulty

it just began happening so im guessing my card is dying and tech support has no phone number but i talked to them through the messaging service thing on their site and the person said that RMA wants to make sure ur address is right.

If your motherboard has onboard graphics disconnect your graphics card and use the motherboard one. Then you will know which is at fault.

no i think RMA will work. if it doesn't ill buy the same one from bestbuy and switch them. idc in the end xfx will lose money because it was there broken hardware in the first place.
