I think my Graphics Card is giving up.

I don't blame her, and I don't like her anyway. She's a 4-year old integrated card. Yes, She's as old as my niece.

NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE, 512 mb memory.

most unusually, when I started writing this post, the fan in my tower started running louder than I've ever heard it.

Anyway, whenever I play games with 3D graphics lately, I've been seeing these colorful stripes. This is certainly a good indication of a dying graphics card, right?

I've been more than ready to switch to non-integrated, I just don't have enough money for one right now. Literally.

I turned down the graphics accelleration slightly, and the bars went away.

FFR.
