Dont know but its pointing towards software? Unistalled and redownloaded (reverse that) then installed same thing.

"Holy glitches Batmon! Whats that?!?"

I don't know boy wonder (smokey) but it needs a good licking uh I am mean kicking Robin, licking is not sanitary.

Also, it'd be nice if you could cut out the massive amount of whitespace. ;)

Severe case of "artifacting", caused either by driver or hardware issues, typically.  Also a common side effect of changing the clock speed on the video card using the drivers or tweak utilities.

Hardware issue.

Looks like clockingover is now not an option.

The weight I was using to compress the heatsink down, fell. When it did the heatsink angled slightly up and poof. All power stopped. The power eventually was restored and computer is operational but not to 3d games.

Here is the problem. Not DP related obviously and sorry for taken the forums time on this. We are stumped. We think the bus between the onboard vid and the CPU gets over heated and becomes severed. The only fix is literally use the well tested 'Arthur Herbert Fonzarelli' fix aka the Technical Tap.

No diagnostic software windows or otherwise has caught the failure. Needless to say as it gets hotter and hotter (This is due to a design flaw in the case, not overclocking) the more I have to implement the Fonz.

This was the most spontaneous uninformed purchase and I highly recommend never under any circumstances purchase manufactured designed computer, this was my first and last.

Solution:
New mother board, video card. power supply (the one that came with this bad boy was only 300 watts)

Thanks Jitspoe. I was hoping it was a openGL issue or codex problem.

(One more related scenario, please help explain this)
Here is the strange part. Watching movies in WMP can no longer be done. I get the same 'tearing' I do as shown above. However I can in real player. Go figure. HELP!


Field   Value
CPU Clock   2003.83 MHz (original: 2000 MHZ)


CPU FSB   200.38 MHz  (original: 200 MHz)

Not overclocked.

Most video decoding takes advantage of hardware acceleration.  You can disable this in windows.  I don't remember where, but there's a slider where you can set hardware acceleration to "none."  This may fix those issues, but it may cause poor framerates when playing videos.

Hmm. Had that lowered slightly.
Checking. Hoping. Praying. Going office space soon.

Thanks Gents.

loial,

If you think the mobo is now past tense, how about posting the model number of it and lets see if we can do a collective Borg hunt for a replacement.
