Help!

I was playing the CnC 3 demo and I encountered a weird crash. A message came up and said that after restarting, I could read the error message. I restarted and the error message did not appear. I know it had something to do with my video card (GeForce 7600GT). Now, there are a bunch of weird static looking lines that appear on anything with a white background on the screen.

 

Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer. Under Application and System double click on Errors. Links to Help and Support provided, sometimes they help, others not. Might want to check out nvidea web site Sounds like your graphics card to me, possibly a driver or the hardware itself. This from the web site if you decide to uninstall, update, install driver:

"Download Accelerator" utilities should be disabled when downloading any drivers.

Do not run virus protection software in the background while installing the drivers. This prevents the driver from configuring itself properly.

Before installing new drivers make sure you uninstall all NVIDIA display drivers from the Windows Control Panel. Browse to the Start Menu > Windows Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and search for "NVIDIA Windows Display Drivers" or "NVIDIA Display Drivers" and select remove.

Everything I have is onboard, Intel, ATI.
Might want to check out Control Panel, Display, Settings, Advanced and Troubleshoot before anything else.
Sorry couldn't be of more assistance.

I've narrowed the problem down to the VGA port. Any monitor connected there has the weird lines on the screen. I have lost my receipt so I dont know what Im going to do now if I have to take it back.

 

There is one thing i can suggest that is nothing to lose is try system restore and restore it to a date before the crash happened.

 

I tried that and it didn't work.

 

Can anyone else help me? I have no idea what to do.

 

Sounds like you'll have to buy a new card.
