These are my system specs pretty much just copied off of the Dell website in which my warranty is up... I am not a computer genius but I know a little about computers how to reformat and what not. I was in the middle of playing a game and my computer crashed, and went to the blue screen, I went to restart and it goes to where I can select the user and then it goes back to the blue screen telling me it's dumping physical memory. I have vertical dotted lines running down the screen, and this is the second time it's happened, and the previous time it was the graphics card. How do I know if this is the graphics card again, and what can I do to make sure this doesn't happen again? I was reading up and seeing the power supply, I have an OLD power strip and think maybe that's why my cards have been braking? Please help, so I know whether to buy another card of if it's something else.
Now I can turn it on and it will go in, but there are now horizontal lines and everything is loading VERY slowly, is it the graphics card? Everything just shows up and it skips frames a whole bunch.
K, now I can get into my computer but it has lines going across it, anything that loads the screen goes black and reloads in and all stuff is messed up on the screen, can anyone help me?
