hey guy's and gals,
i have no idea why but when ever i go to play games on my pc the screen goes weird i have no idea how to explain it so here are some pics..
i have a core duo 2.66 ghz 2 gig ddr2 800 ram nvidia 8600 gt gpu 250gig sata hdd 430 thermal take psu
its nothing flash but does the job..
I've tried un-installing drivers then reinstall drivers..no joy, took the card out in case dust got in the way of a connection...no love i have no idea what the problem is...
it only happens when playing games, watching movies or just in general is fine

I had a 7600 do that a couple of years ago..
More then likely your graphics card.

It will be a faulty card in the main rendering engine.
Movies/general is ok becuase there is little/no 3d rendering (no DirectX/OpenGL).
If new drivers + making sure the card is seated correct didn't solve your issue then I'd suggest that your card is faulty.
