hi all,
sometimes - quite rarely; when playing games and sometimes when im just in windows (ie for example), my pc will crash and the picture on the screen is still visible execpt there is a large green checkerboard sort of pattern with horizontal lines accross the screen and the speakers will make a continuos beeeeeep sound until i physically turn the pc off, or reset it, somestimes the display contiunes to have that wierd pattern on it after a reset and during bios to windows. quite scary. im thinking that i may have a faulty graphics card.

ok, my system is NOT overheating its only 27'C in there, my cpu is only 37'C... nothing is overclocked. i recently bought a geforce 4 ti 4200 (64mb) , and have a duron 900, 512sdram... soundblaster live player 5.1.... 120gb hdd... etc..

i have all the latest drivers for sound/graphics.. and there are no conflicts or irq problems.

any ideas?:confused:

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
