Comment: I have a weird problem with what i thought was my graphics card overheating. I have a 9800pro and have recently put in my old fx5200 to be sure it was my graphics card causing it. The problem still occured with my old fx5200. I have caught a screenshot of it to show you guys. http://img474.imageshack.us/img474/9008/t9ua.jpg

Reply: (edit)The black writing and grey on the start button. This is the only screenshot i have of the problem. It happens in all programs after a few hours of use. My browser will only show one font. I will get a screenshot of firefox when it next happens. Any ideas what it might be?

Reply: (edit)I doubt it's the video card...more likely it's a software problem or infection (virus or spyware).

Reply: (edit)I'm thinking at the moment it's either CPU usage or memory usage. How can i lower these? Or am i just being stupid?

Reply: (edit)You certainly have a lot of icons next to your clock...that means you have a lot of programs loading at startup. Do you need them all to load, or can they be started manually on an "as needed" basis? Do you do a lot of P2P downloading? Have you scanned for spyware lately? You should have Spybot, Ad-Aware, & SpywareBlaster installed & updated, & you should run them regularly (from safe mode). You should also have CCleaner & run that daily, not to mention regular virus scans & defrags. Have you run MSCONFIG & checked for questionable startup entries? http://www.filehippo.com/

Reply: (edit)I had experienced somthing smilar when I enabled full AA and AF.
Using 2xQucicknux antialiasing on the nvidia card caused the font to blur out quite a bit even on normal desktop usage.
Try setting your driver settings to default and check if it makes any difference. Sarosh

Reply: (edit)Firstly the icons on the left aren't covered it's part of the problem. Secondly i have spybot and ad-aware installed and run them regularly. Does it really matter if i don't run them in safe mode? Also it could be a driver clash as i moved from nvidia to ati and there are some files or both in my system32 folder??
I use avast anti-virus is this good enough? I do some p2p downloading but not that much.

Reply: (edit)"i have spybot and ad-aware installed and run them regularly. Does it really matter if i don't run them in safe mode?" It's better to run from safe mode "it could be a driver clash as i moved from nvidia to ati and there are some files or both in my system32 folder??" How did you unistall the nVidia drivers? Control Panel/Add or Revome Programs? It wouldn't have hurt to run that from safe mode as well. Then you should have run DriverCleaner to make sure you got everything. Then shutdown, swap video cards, THEN install the ATI drivers. http://www.drivercleaner.net/
