Thanks for the tip.
I'm going to test this right now.

EDIT: W00T, I've managed to play Guild Wars for over an hour.
Tomorrow I will test more games.

EDIT: Nah, it crashed today 2 times...

Today, when I was playing Guild Wars, the screen suddenly showed weird brown, red, black stripes.
According to that i'm absolutely sure that I need to buy a new GFX-Card.
I'm planning to buy a Leadtek Geforce 6600 GT.

yeah mate, it sounds like gfx card is nackered!? the 6600 gt is quite a good card it will run anything on high, however, i think you should definatly think about getting a new stick of ram. 512 just isnt enough these days.

[BuD^]

Yeah, after changing my card I will buy more RAM.

This is a problem with the chipset. Its the exact problem that I have currently. Your new "mobo" uses a VIA chipset, now does it have a AGP slot? There was a known problem with that detected in the operating system. If your using Win XP Pro, you're screwed till some1 finds a soluiton. Windows 2000 has a solution:
Found here! Now, when you find a soluiton: I could be totally wrong but try running a 2D game like SImcitty 2000, or some old stragety game and c if that works right.

Please do not include and e-mail address in any post as it could lead to more contact than you intended

Yes, it has an AGP Slot.
I think you are wrong, my Mobo has a nVidia nForce3 250 Gb Chipset.

Yea..I was reading that on the Gigabyte site...if you find out what's wrong, add it to the thread!

Okay, I bought the Leadtek Geforce 6600 GT and I'm going to install it.
Wish me luck

Good luck, hope it works!

[BuD^]

Well, yesterday I've installed it and my PC didn't crash so far.
Still testing...

[ZEUS_GB]

Sounds promising!

[BuD^]

The PC didn't crash for 3 days.
I guess the problem is solved.
Thanks for your help.
