I have now had my first graphics glitch! I think it was probably the card overheating or something along that matter, or may have been low resources, I had been playing for a while. At any rate after I crashed to desktop and restarted the graphics glitch was gone!

The hurricane probably triggered that. Next time pop off the side panel and turn on the box fan on high.........:rofl:

It is a form-factor computer and there is no side panel to pop off! :biggrin:

The rest of my computers are already minus their side panels, I don't put the panels back on once I have been inside the computer, panels just get in the way when I need to work on the machine!

I don't think aerodynamics enter into the performance of a computer, only airflowdynamics! :biggrin:

If problems continue you could always try to narrow it down with Everest (http://www.filehippo.com/download_everest_home/) or Sandra (http://www.filehippo.com/download_sandra_2005/)....:go:

I haven't had anymore problems since restarting! The game had been going for quite some time without being shutdown when that happened and there was a lot of activity on the map!

No not overjoyed, just glad to let folks know that after all the game runtime I have had, that I am not immune to the glitches others seem to have! :go:

Let's face it, it's just inconvenient to put the case back around the tower, isn't it? :wink:

Mine doesn't even have one, it's just a kind of framework. :go: :rolleyes: :biggrin:

I've got one that doesn't even have a face plate on it, the on switch dangles from a hole in the front framework of the tower!(It has the second fastest processor, the second highest amount of ram and largest hard drive of the four I have in use currently)It is also the only one I can play Age of Empires III on!


Edit: clarify switch, not really an off switch just an on switch, cuts off on windows shut down. It is an older system though, I guess a "P3?" 1.7 ghz processor and it uses PC 133 ram.

Um... I don't have a switch on mine either. I made the tower myself and I couldn't really be bothered to put one. It would have looked odd anyways, the whole thing being open with the cables right there. I just bypass them every time I start the computer, which really is what a switch does too... you just don't see it. :wink:
