I guess I need help, a computer tech told me reformatting my computer would do nothing.

Well, if it indeed a software problem (i.e. drivers) then reformatting will make all the difference in the worl. If it's a hardware problem, then it wont. Reformatting will give us a good idea as to which is to blame.

Restoring my computer didn't do anything.

I reinstalled the drivers as you said, but then when I restarted (it said to) the screen started messing up, blurring together. So I did a system restore to before I installed the drivers and my screen doesn't blur together or anything. Only prob is that when I'm on a web page and scroll down or up it goes really really choppy, but it's probably only because I have no drivers.

um, yeah. When you reinstall drivers, it just resets your resolution to 800 X 600, which is why it looks blurry. All you had to do was change your resolution back. Too bad, the whole purpose of the reformat was to get a clean driver install on. So much for that lol.

No no, I did put my resolution at 1280 by 1024. You don't seem to understand, it got so blurry that I could not see anything on the screen except for a few random fragments. It also seemed to freeze.

Like I said, you'll need someone personally there to get it fixed. There's only so much we can do online.

I'm think that you have a bad card.

Sounds like it might be extreme artifacting.

You probably have a very bad card. RMA it and get a new one.
