Hi
i have 512 ram and the graphics card is only 6 moths old i have
taken all my cards out and replaced them, ive also checked cables and
connections i only put this system together 3 months ago.
The problem has only started a few days ago.

the video card if it has 64 megs on it is probably a lot older than 6 months old as i have the 64meg version for about 4years. can you try a different video card.

Also have a look in the CMOS and set it up for AGP as primary video adapter.......

thats a good idea ill take it round to a mates house and try.
thinking about it i somtimes get a slight yellowing on the screen of my monitor but ive put that down to the monitor being quite old.
