hi,
i had sent a mail earlier but i cant find it..so i'm typing it all over again...figures how desperate i am......
it all started after i put in an xtra 256 ram for my system....cant boast of a state of the art system..but a P4,1.6ghz,512ram,120Gb,S3 prosavage card shud serve the purpose....
now i cant seem to play any divx movies at the 1024 resolution although my monitor is samsung 17''....the movies begin to frame badly...and xvid movies frame and to top it off appears upside down....i managed to circumvent it by lowerin the resolution to 800 by 600....the weird thing is tht in the task manager the cpu usage is up at 100% while normally it is under 20% for applications like playin a divx movie.....i cant run more thn 2 applications at a time..for eg. winamp and a photo application...the entire thing hangs up..reinstalling XP or the drivers do no good.....somehow i hav every reason to believe tht the video card does not work coz the processor is doin all the work.......
stranger thn fiction the video quality of the cds i play seems to hav gone down...the system has slowed down to turtle speed even after the 512 ram.....is it my video card.. or is it the ram?
strange as it may seem..the monitor builds up high levels of static charge during operation...i touch the screen and i get a nasty shock.....i keep the UPS next to the monitor so tht cud be the reason.....?
cud some good soul plz help me out....
godspeed
