Hey,this is the first time I've really used a forum but I need help with my video card.
Whenever I play Dawn of War I usually get graphic errors where random lines appear all over the screen. Also sometimes text appears as blocks rather then letters. My computer ends up freezing and restarting with an error telling me that the card couldn't complete a drawing request. I've tried newer drivers and I still have the problem. I really have no idea what to do at the moment. I also have a screenshot of what the problem looks like but I'm not sure if I can link pictures on this forum. Any help on this would be awesome,thanks a lot.

Computer Spec's:
Abit NF7-S motherboard
1.5GHz or ultra RAM
Mobile CPU (don't remember much about it)

Sounds like a bad memory chip on the graphics card or bad power supply.

Looks like an XFX card? If so I suggest ya create your own thread in the XFX support section and start a trouble ticket with them. I gotta agree with Scott, it sounds like a faulty RAM chip on the card, but the card should still be covered under warranty.

I think you mean 1.5Gb of RAM ;-)

This is definetly a video card problem. If it's still under warranty you can RMA it.

Do you know what kind of card it is?
