MAJOR Problem...fried my CPU!!
« Reply #30 on: December 13, 2004, 12:32:24 PM »
We decided that we would use the old pc for the business and use the new one for games etc.....so they will be kept separate.

Thank you for the advice. When Mr. goducks gets back from his business trip, we will go buy a new card. Now that we know which ones to look for.

Thanks again!

I failed to answer your question about there being a slot for a new card. When I was initially on the phone with the HP tech. he informed me there was an additional slot. At that time I asked if I could upgrade to a better card since the pc was being sent in for repairs. You know....pay the difference and do it all at once.  I was told no....that when I got my pc back, I could call them and they would talk us thru putting an additional card in.  (they would only fix the problem and do nothing else) We agreed we would wait and see what everyone recommends for cards before buying and installing.

 So here we are..........

Ok guys....you won. We took everyone's advice and went and bought a new graphics card.  ATI Radeon 9550 256mb. Mr. goducks installed the new card last night and the game ran beautifully!! Not one hitch!! The frame rate went from around 12 or 13 to 64......YEE HAW!  Since the game is running the way it should.....he also upgraded to a regular membership.  So he can fly with the big boys now.....

Anyways, thanks for all your help!

 And if you see "nostick" in the air...clip his wings!! LOL
