Hey, it's time for me to burden the forums with my broken computer once more
Near enough all of my games are crashing, the exception that I've used is my beloved RCT
and flash games. I think it may be useful to say that until a few days ago, a few extra games like GTA:VC were also working fine.
before that even (and it is still happening on top of the newer problems), My computer screams at me for about an hour every day. Its basically a sine wave (that kind of noise anyway) and it starts randomly after booting and the brighter the screen the louder the noise, so closing a white website onto a dark desktop will make it queiter
The crash itself, the game freezes and randomly coloured pixels cover part of the screen in patterns, sometimes the screen freezes like this, sometimes I can make out a distorted BSOD (Restarts afterwards)
all of that
leads me to believe that its my graphics card thats dying, its quite old (8800GT about 3-4 years old) and I want it replacing anyway, I was going to wait until christmas to replace the whole machine, but if replacing the graphics card alone could fix the machine, I can do that
So, do you reckon its my graphics card?
