So...When I play a game like World of Warcraft or something I notice multiple things...
One, the fan is unbearble loud...sometimes, and I dont know why its sometimes. there is so ryme or reason to it. The fan spins fast some days and other days it dosent.
Two, The graphics start blinking this red/green thing after a while. DOnt know why.
Three, I had a technician from Dell come in replace the fan and it did nothing. My computer actually locked up after he installed it.
I am about to comit suicide because I am so frustrated Ive been dealing with this shit for months and I have not gotten any results from anything. I am abou to give up on it and quit using my computer.....
Also, I added a new graphic card a NVIDIA 6600 Gt and some extra RAM a while back but I dont know if that would do anything.
Please help b4 I go insane.
