i just upgraded my onboard video to a 3D Fuzion 128 MB Geforce 6200LE and now there are these strange ripply and shadowing effects that are showing up almost all over the display.. near text, icons etc. its usable but it almost looks like i *downgraded* to a cheaper video card as opposed to upgrading to the better one. my CRT monitor is about 5 or 6 years old and i plan on replacing that soon but the onboard video that came with my new Compaq Presario was starting to irk me since it was causing some eyestrain. i am using a 75 hz refresh rate which i believe was the highest i could go. hmm maybe i should just downgrade back to the onboard video, buy my flatscreen LCD and see if the original problem goes away. i do like the specs of this video card though over the onboard.|||it's possible that you did downgrade ;) the GeForce 6200 is ancient.
but your problem can almost certainly be fixed by downloading the latest drivers. go to www.nvidia.com to download and install the latest one.|||u may need to disable onboard in the bios ...|||hmm. If by "almost all over the display" you mean that they are literally everywhere, then they could be artifacts, which is a sign of an overheating/faulty video card (a new video card that is not overclocked shouldnt be overheating). I had that when I first got my radeon 9800 pro - so i sent it back and got a new one and the artifacts disappeared. Put your finger on the heatsinks of the video card while your computer is running and see if they are very hot, which is a problem, and you should RMA it.
