Hi.
Any help on the below problem I'd really appreciate.
One day while on my PC, it quickly really slowed down, then windows 7 stated something about video memory (I think) in the bottom right hand corner.
The screen flashed black a few times and was sluggish, then Microsoft Excel reported something along the lines of "not enough resources" etc.
Then the "graphics" on the screen were doing weird things - thick black lines were going down the screen.
I shut down the PC, or pressed reset, cant remember and restarted the PC.
Straight away the screen showed small blue or green dots all over the screen including in the BIOS setup.
It would then proceed to try and load windows 7, only to get just before the windows logo starts spinning around, and then shuts down again.
I can get into Windows by going into Safe Mode with networking, where everything seemed normal on the desktop.
I read online it was most probably a graphics card problem, which was a Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT, so I bought a new Nvidia GeForce GTX 7700 and installed it, installed drivers etc.
Booted it up, and now I have loads more red dots in the BIOS screens, but it now does load Windows 7, and I can operate Windows Ok, but even in Windows I have red dots all over the screen (especially on top of dark coloured backgrounds.
Pleae help - im tearing my hair out here.....
