graphics and other things acting up... plz help

Hi everyone! Thanks for looking at this I hope someone can help me. I am having and issue with my pc (obviously lol) Some of my graphics became very disoriented and discolored at times and when I am playing Lineage 2 I keep crit erroring nearly 1 time every 1-3 hours... this is not normal at all. I have had this PC for some time now and never had an issue with it... odd thig is that I can't run more then 1 client of the game at a time on this pc and it has way better specs then my other pc's and they can run 3 clients each!

Is there a website that can diag my pc for free? If not at least run a stress test on my video card, ram and psu. I am running a AMD 64 X2 Dual core 4000+ 2 gigs of ram windows xp media center edition SP 3. (just did all the updates and nuthing worked) NVidia GeForce 8600 GT and a 24" Gateway Samsung FPD2485W TFT LCD HD Monitor product code: 7005576R Model: LP2407

Please note: I have tried to update the game, windows xp, and the monitor sorftware... the only thing that wasn't sucessfull was the monitor softwear. All I could find on it was the Pivot softwear wich I'm sure wont help anything at this time. I doubt the video card drivers have been updated but it has been working fine till now plus on my other pc when I updated my drivers last month it made everything go nuts and I had to revert to my old drivers and that wasn't easy to find. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Also here is the error code I get from L2 incase anyone is familar with the game: PosCode : LS1:80835:146738:-3537 2/1

Thanks again!

I'm not familiar with that game. Are you having issues with anything else, or just that game? From your description of the screen, it sounds like a failing or overheating video card. I would start by ensuring your pc is clean and all of the fans are operational, especially the videocard fan.

Unfortunatly that game is the only thing that pc is used for. So I really have no idea if it would have issues with anything else. I ran a stress test on it and ram test and nothing happened... the ram test corrected 1 error or so it said... I been running the game for a while now and it hasn't crashed the game yet... not sure if the issue was fixed but only time will tell I suppose.

Also we cleaded that pc out about 1 week ago so it shouldn't be dirty I hope lol To me it sounded like a video card issue as well... especailly when I saw the distorted screen and colors and such at verious times while playing the game. But it hasn't happened since then not sure what to think of it all =/

thanks!
