Graphics problems

Expand Post »
I am having problems with games and other aspects of my computer graphics not loading properly and taking more than 10 minutes to load at all. Also games can become very slow and lots of the graphics incomplete on screen. I have a Packard Bell computer with Windows XP service Pack 2 installed, Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz processor, H+H Virtual CD SCSI Controller SDK. This is all i can find out about my computer as i am not an expert but just seeking help. I want my computer to run smoothly and load fully when playing games. Any advice?

Re: Graphics problems

Do you know what type of graphics card you have? For starters right click on my computer, and let us know how much ram you have. It would not hurt as well to maybe open your case and see what type of graphics card you have....while your in there check to see what type of motherboard you have......more details will lead to better results...good luck man!

Re: Graphics problems

I have 256 MB of RAM, and this is a new problem ever since i took my computer back to factory settings when it got a virus but the computer has always been slow loading games. i then installed lots of windows updates, a game, the new itunes, the new windows live messenger, and the new internet explorer. i cant see what type my graphics card and motherboard are right now but i could find out tomorrow.

Re: Graphics problems

I am quite the gamer myself, and most of any "new" game out there has a minimum requirement of a 256mb dedicated graphics card, and 1gig of memory. Anything below that, and you are not going to be able to properly run games. And keep in mind...those are MINIMUM requirements!
