First off. I am running an Alienware 2.7 Ghz laptop , 512 meg RAM, Mobility Radeon 9000 128 meg video card, Windows XP home ed.
Today, while I was playing warcraft the game looked as if it bugged. The graphics scrambled and while it was visually neat to look at, it was impossible to play. I quit out of the game to find it was not only the game that had malfunctioned, but also the Desktop. It now looks as if there is a blue / plad looking pattern that seems to pulsate and flicker. I restarted the computer hoping that might remedy the problem, but the same scrambled thing happened at POST and also affected the Windows load screen. I assume it has to be the video card but i would also like additional opinions. I called Alienware tech support, but they gave me the runaround wanting more money for an additional service warranty. I plan on reformatting the system but in all honesty i dont believe that will fix anything. please help. thanks 🙂
