After Pulling open my old computer my mom pointed something out to me that i did not see because i never thought about looking for it and that is 3 of the (transistors? the cilender black things point up and have silver ends (i was terable at Electronics) look well burnt out, there brown like that have blown or something dont know but there right next to the AGP port and since its the Video that going nuts i guess it might be that, its not the same on my other computer but the problem is on both.

but i did move the dard from one comp to the other, so I assusme its possable the card got damaged because of them, for this matter i contacted my videocard manufacture and there going to send me a replacement in about 2months AHHHhhh!!! some i on the laptop right now and well once the new cards back I will try it and see how things go.

Any sujestions are welcome.

Additional vie Edit:

I cooled down the computer 3 fans blowing at it from every angle possable would have done the trick and it actually made the problem worce, figgues lol.
