Dunno about the overheating thing. Because last summer, when i had the same problem, i was gone for a week. When i turned on the computer, i got the exact same stripes.
This weekend i had the comp of all weekend. So the comp can't be cold.

Check if the fan isn't dusty or that something isn't blocking the air from getting out/in. Uninstall anything you don't need, check for viruses. If nothing helps, call a computer maintenance guy.

Post by: Maxwell on November 19, 2006, 07:56:09 AM: it is not an overclocking or overheating problem.

It looks to be more of a windows problem, i would reinstall but thats just me, try booting into safe mode and running a COMPLETE system scan for viruses, or problems. it might possibly be a Hard disk failure although unlikely.

*********** Its hard to tell from your pic's because i can not tell if anything is scan lines or video artifacts **********
if it is artifacting, well. it may just well be an overheating problem or overclocked all too much.
