Run chkdsk c:/f again Steve then come back to us.

[steveoizzle]

Alright, I ran chkdsk c:/f again, restarted.

when it restarted it went thru the files, indexes and descriptors just fine with no errors, it looked just like the screenshot you posted and told me to take a good look at. the only difference is mine was infront of a blue screen at startup and not on my cmd...
although it only gave me about 3 seconds to look at it, it looked just like yours. what now?

[Wolfeymole]

It sounds like you are have a virus across perhaps.

What AV do you use and Firewall?

[steveoizzle]

i dont have any AV installed right now because just last night i deleted the whole partition on my hd and have a brand new reformat, only things ive downloaded were like my drivers, adobe flash player, wmp10, dx9.0c, ventrilo and AIM.. and thats it really i havnt downloaded ANYTHING else so far... all of those were legit and ive used em before never had a virus on any of those.. but i have my normal windows xp firewall on its been on..

[Wolfeymole]

Get Avast from our Downloads section, install it and allow it to do a system scan on reboot.

Obtain Commodo for the firewall, this will turn off the Windows firewall which is good for protection against inbound traffic only.

Get Spybot and AdAware after this, get all updates and run them.

Then get back to us.

[steveoizzle]

Alright well now im done with all that.
I have no infections or virus's on my comp at all...
i did a few more C: drive scans
theyre all coming up clean now
i ran a memtest also it came up with 0 errors also..
i have no clue whats goin on im gonna try reinstalling the game one more time...

[Wolfeymole]

Steve mate trust me we have a tech guy who knows graphics cards backwards and it may well be that yours can't hack it, I don't have a clue about that side.

[steveoizzle]

what do you mean?
im running
2.4ghz
1gb of ddr ram
and the 9800 pro 128
ive played wc3 just fine before
hell ive played doom3,f.e.a.r,WoW, granted the settings werent very high on everything and AA AF by 8x but i could still play all those games with over 60 fps set to certain settings, i talked to a friend of mine he said to install a more graphics intense game and see if it works.
so im downloading the doom3 demo right now gonna set it up and see what happens
i think my videocard memory might be bad now tho.. is that what you're saying?

[Wolfeymole]

What I mean that Alex who is online right now knows a thing or two about vid cards so he will enlighten you yes?

[steveoizzle]

Well then alex, if I do have a problem with my vidcard i was thinking about picking up this one

How do I know if that will fit on my mobo? my mobo is agp8x so is the videocard.. so it will fit? its a pretty big case so size of the card doesnt matter i just need to know if the slots will line up, know what i mean?
