When i play games for a long period of time my monitor will turn to ping and green colums with pink, green, and blue pixel blocks within the colums. The mouse locks, comp locks and the power button wont turn the comp off; i have to use the power supply switch to turn the thing off. upon restarting it seems fine until i try and play the game again and it flips out and goes to the fairy screen again, 3rd try its fine nothing happens plays fine. couple days later it locks with the colums again. this has happened 8 times since 2 weeks ago. I've been told my video card and/or my agp slot is going out. I need help. Plz hurry.

stupid question time... what are we supposed to do if you're agp slot or vid board are dying? the only option is to purchase new equipment.

u just keep the settings in the 800X600 high colour and then run it even it is working same then uninstall the agp or video drivers and try to install the direct x first then u install the drivers else buy the new agp or vga card no other option best of luck
