| Okay, So at christmas I had a new computer, I played with it, Messed around etc, BTW, This is a Gaming Spec PC The specs are as follows: AMD Athlon 64 5600+ X2 2.8GHz 2GB 667MHz (Says its 333MHz) ![]() nVidia GeForce 8600GT 256MB GDDR3 This is running on Windows XP (32-Bit) And My monitor is at a 1680x1050 resolution. It plays games beautifully but after playing them for about 15mins, I start to get Horizontal Lines constantly going across the screen. But when I restart the PC, Everything is fine, When I am not playing games this never occurs, It just seems to be when I am playing games. If anyone has any advice or has had this problem and fixed it, Please could you tell me what to do? Thank you very much, Xcell |

| Firstly, the ram is shown as 333mhz because that's the true speed of 667mhz ram. As ddr2 or double data rate 2 ram sends data on the rising and falling edges of the clock cycle it's effective speed is, effectively, doubled, hence 667mhz. The lines are caused because your card doesn't have the umph to game at the resolution you're gaming at. Try lowering the resolution in the game from the native resolution of the monitor to 1280x1024 and see if the lines appear then.

| Right, I turned down the resolution to 1280x960 and after playing for about 15mins the lines are happening again, As I type they are on the screen everywhere. What can I do? |

| Okay, sorry, should have asked you about detail settings and AA/AF. Just to get rid of this option (or to prove it) turn the res down to the lowest available in the game, and also change your monitor's resolution in windows to the same resolution. Turn off all detail settings and AA/AF. Now run it again to see if this has helped. If not we can look at other options. Also, do you have your screen set to it's native 60hz refresh rate?
