Hey having a few issues with the old dog... tried Googling but that's not really resulted in much.
Everytime my PC tries to do something (even a task as simple as loading a new webpage) the screen 'flickers'. Black horizontal stripes across the screen as if it's refreshing. It also crashes everytime I load up a game :(
Not done anything recently to update the pc so what the feck?! Any suggestions?
-----
Also the new season starts tomorrow - 17:15 GMT for the real footy fans ^_^_^
Ps ENSAM can fo!

This pcs done all right for its age (7ish), does everything I need & it'd take an age to replace all the programmes on here just takes 10 mins or so to boot up.
download, install, check the tab "sensors" or have a look in the nvidia controlpanel
the easiest way to prevent overheating is to check if there's too much dust on the fan :P
if this doesn't decrease the temperature apply new thermal compound.
Fuckers :(

Rest of the system nothing good Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.80ghz, 512mb ram
Managed to acquire another tower in the meantime but after a format the sound no longer works - google says this is a common problem but there's not a common answer. Helps?:(
