I have a 8790 and just recently have not been able to play any 3d animation games!!! When i start up a game and start playing immediately green lines appear on the screen and it crashes!!!!! I have cleaned out everything with the compressed air stuff !!! the cpu and graphics card have not been overclocked!!!! I am running windows XP pro service pack 2 and everything is up to date. Also i have tried putting old graphics drivers in and tried put newer ones in Nothing seems to work!!!

Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!

The system is a 3.4 MHZ, 1 gig ram, 60 gig 7200rmp HD, and 9700 graphics card.

well....theres your problem....you have a 1980s processor.....


but seriously....if i were to venture a guess its a software issue...

unfortunately... it isn't... it is the same artifact problem alot of people are having..

once i underclocked the GPU things cleared up..

i am trying to get sager to fix it now..

3.4mhz is alot! i had to underclock it that far for it to boot..


sorry my brother posted the first post.. he didn't read the rest fo the forum first to find out the problem..

hey i need to know how to upgrade teh video bios.. i upgraded the firmware and system bios but not the video bios...

if anyone could help me out or give me the files i need.. i would greatly appreciate it..

thanks..

i just got mine back from RMA today....i was underclocking for a while....but it kept progressivly getting worse...as i underclocked more and more....

they did a number of things to it....and i noticed they underclocked it themselves.
