just check that you have the latest bios for your pc\n\nif your previous card work ok - then I would say that your new card is faulty\n\njust check your graphix cards properties to make sure that the card is not over clocked by default\n\nhope this helps

you said "the problem happens in both of them"\n\nthis means you have a hardware problem. Since it happens in games, it could be the power supply.  Download MBM5 and watch your power fluctuations (although if it was me I would just swap in a different power supply and see if it fixes it.).  \n\nIt can also be an overheating or underpowered graphics card - some cards require their own power source aside from the motherboard slot they plug into so make sure your has a power plug if it needs it.  And its common for graphic card cooling fans to crap out. Check to make sure the fans are all spinning when the computer is on.\n\nIt could also be bad memory - try Memtest86 to check out your memory.\nAn internet search will find you this tool, also mbm5.\n\nThis problem is not a virus or software since it happens in both linux and windoze.

The most common reason for this sort of thing is that your video card needs an updated driver for it.  Go to the website for the maker of your particular card, and they should have the latest driver there for a free download.  Do that, and install it.  Good luck.

YIKES !!!\nPeople who don't know should not answer these questions.\nIt is a very common problem with NVidia Chips. Sometimes the driver goes crazy. Simply update/re-install your graphics driver.

HOLD ON GUYS!!!\nbefore you start ripping your computer apart, and running out to buy a new video card try the simple things first.\na) are all cables connected correctly and securely.\nb) are all power cables connected. etc.\nc) did you try the reset button\nd) try a different monitor on your computer, and see if your monitor will work on another computer.\nif none of those things work and you are comfortable opening up your computer, then do so and check the connections.

Check that the monitor cable is correctly connected.\nIf it is, then get a new monitor from some place with a good returns policy - just in case the problem is with your graphics card!!

get an updated driver for your videocard.   Is it a separate videocard or onboard graphics?  Check the bios and see if onboard graphics is disabled so you can use the separate video card

well it could be that you need to update your driver for your grafix card. goto nividia.com or ATI are the most popular if you have a gaming grafix card. Good luck

This is most likely a hardware issue.  Have you installed any new hardware recently (right before the problem started)?\n\nPossible solutions:\nCheck for new drivers for your motherboard.\nCheck for new drivers for your video card.\nCheck for BIOS upgrades.\nIf you bought your computer from an OEM (e.g. Dell, Gateway, etc.), try going to the vendor's website and see if they released any new driver packages.

This may be your video card going bad.  If there is a fan on the video card, make sure it is free of dust and operational.  If you have access to a different video card then try that.

Install the latest driver for the video card and reinstall DirectX.\n\nhttp://www.nvidia.com\nhttp://www.atitech.com\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/directx

i think maybe not all of the chipset is suppor that kind of acceleration. Or, if it's support, why don't you try to reinstall the driver of the Graphics Card?

If this is a problem that started out of the blue without you touching any of your settings, chances are there is a problem with either your motherboard, graphics card or processor. I had this same problem and it turned out that my motherboard had burnt out.\n\nI don't know how old your computer is but if it is more than 3 years old, chances are it is burnt out and you will need to replace your base unit.
