Hey everyone. Im having a few issues with my computer and i want to sort them out.
Firstly, Here are the specs of my piece of crappage :P
Asrock P4i65G Socket 478 Motherboard
Intel Celeron 2.66Ghz
768MB RAM
ATI Radeon graphics card 256MB (Not sure of the model though)
Problem 1:
After playing games like Counter Strike for a while, The display starts to lag so to say.
Also, After closing them when they havent been running slow. The whole comp goes slow with everything. Simple things like the speed to open a window etc.
Whats the problem and how can i resolve it?
Problem 2:
The graphics card is on its way out. On start up the display shows alot of misplaced numbers all over the place and i get blue lines randomly appear through the screen. I know its the GC because without the monitor going through the GC the pictures are fine.
Whats a good replacement on a pretty small budget that will be good enough to handle FPS games etc?
Pretty small budget = $60 - $80 maybe? Im english so that would convert to around £30-£40. Could probably go a little higher if its really needed.
Thanks for any help :)
