Re: Either big virus or small problem

How can I check if I have those slots? I may be able to borrow a graphics card from a friend.

Re: Either big virus or small problem

You will need to take a look on the motherboard. Have uploaded a couple of shots. One on the left is AGP.

Re: Either big virus or small problem

I tried doing that scan for artifacts thing today, and the computer shut off maybe 15 minutes into it. Also I am borrowing a Nvidia graphics card from a friend. I have 3 PCI slots at the back of my computer but I don't know if they are PCI-e

Re: Either big virus or small problem

PCI-e slots are a lot longer than PCI or AGP slots.

Re: Either big virus or small problem

I think I might have a PCI-e slot. I have a big black slot that says PCI express above it, and it has nothing in it.

Re: Either big virus or small problem

I don't know. My friend hasn't given it to me yet, but I'll let you know as soon as I get it.

Re: Either big virus or small problem

Ok well I got the nvidia graphics card, and now my screen is all out of wack. It says I am running at 800x600 and everything is too large and well just too large. But it won't let me change my resolution.
