Hi! As the thread title suggests, I'm having some problems with my computer that I suspect may be related to my graphics card. Earlier this evening, I walked into my room and found that my computer had frozen while I was AFK in a game. I noticed strange greenish lines that were running through the screen, and I wondered if those could be related to the graphics problems I'd been having in the same game, (shapes would become distorted, triangulation of shapes would occur, etc). As with most problems though, I figured that I could simply restart my computer and everything would be back to normal. However, that was not the case. Upon booting, there was no Windows XP start up screen, no boot selection screen, nothing. It was just a black screen. Once again, i tried rebooting and attempted to boot from safemode (memorized boot keys). And again, nothing happened, just another black screen. Finally, I took out my OS CD and attempted to boot from that. Still nothing happened. All of these things led me to believe that potentially my graphics card was dead. I'm not an extremely computer savvy person though, so any simple answers/solutions to this problem would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
