speed fan says the temp is 55c ans everest says its 57c and bios says its 59c lol so its in the 50s.

stscfc · 1 Mar 2009 at 14:16

these are monitoring the temps and change i can see what they change to not much diff in them tbh.

stscfc · 1 Mar 2009 at 14:18

ah looooooool tbh cant see it being the monitor as the blue screen errors are hardware related thats what i get the jist of the strings meaning but i have tryed anothe monitor yes.

stscfc · 1 Mar 2009 at 14:19

But if it was the monitor wouldnt i get that with out playing games.

stscfc · 1 Mar 2009 at 14:21

I have tryed refresh rates and screen sizes as well.

just eliminate the possibility, though i strongly thing its the card, thats the advantage of working in or having a pc shop, you have spares to test with,

i would just save up for a new card, if that doesnt do it return it as unused

but im sure that will be it mate

stscfc · 1 Mar 2009 at 14:23

I hink so to may go and get one now and do as you say lol doing my head in now tbh havent played wow for 5 weeks lol

stscfc · 1 Mar 2009 at 14:25

The shop i could take it to said it maybe the card but could be anything lol but prob is i an do that myself but he says he has all the stuff to stress test it there to pin point the prob.

thats a lot of crap, dont waste you money mate, just buy a car, i can advise you on what one will be compatable,

all you would have to do is uninstall the drivers that are on your system for the card you have, shutdown the system, install the new card, boot up and install the new drivers that will come with the new card

stscfc · 1 Mar 2009 at 14:53

Any ideas would a fx 5200 be any good for now.

Kennysevenfold · 1 Mar 2009 at 15:48

what sort of money do you have just now.? if your fine using the 5200 then stick with it if you dont want to spend cash on another one,

much better performance than the fx5200 mate

A 5200 is the world's worst graphics card, ever, ever. Go for the 6200 above or see if you can pick up a cheap Radeon 9600 or something.

stscfc · 1 Mar 2009 at 16:41

Thanks for the replies got about 40 to 50 quid i can spare money is tight.Saw he 6200 localy for 29 quid so may go back tomorrow and have a look or phone about a bit first.
