Video Woes

I recently bought a GeForce 6200 as the last upgrade to Freya before I buy the next comp in May, but I’ve noticed as of late that it randomly overheats. Why? I don’t know. It also makes my LCD turn blue at random, and most CRTs, when connected, make a weird squealing noise, and then pop, and then turn on and off at random. Yes, it’s freaky. Strange thing is my TV works fine on it, but everything is blurry. Just like any CRT monitor I hook up to it.

So, next time I’m in Gibsons, I’m thinking of returning it and just getting the same card, but.. y’know, not broken. If I can, though, I might return it, and spend a bit of extra cash to get a 6600GT that they have there. I really don’t care though, the 6200 is enough for me. But I don’t want to give my mom a broken Freya in May.

Oh, and I still haven’t decided on a name for the Compy-in-May. Either Weatherlight or Zhaor, at this point.
