[14:02] <@ragnafrak> k..
[14:02] <@ragnafrak> does this sound like a ram or gpu problem?
[14:03] <@ragnafrak> there are moving thin black lines all over my screen
[14:03] <@ragnafrak> but
[14:03] <@ragnafrak> only when it seems like something is loading
[14:03] <@ragnafrak> like in games, they're always there
[14:03] <@ragnafrak> but they are also happening when something loads on the desktop
[14:03] <@ragnafrak> like if i open a folder and it loads all the icons
[14:04] <@ragnafrak> the window is unresponsive until the icons are loaded.. and while they're loading the screen has the black lines
[14:04] <@ragnafrak> the lines are also there sometimes in bios screen and when xp is loading
[14:04] <@ragnafrak> i get more lines if i raise my fsb
[14:04] <@ragnafrak> and less if i lower my fsb
[14:05] <@ragnafrak> no matter what ram settings i use
[14:05] <@ragnafrak> and increasing/decreasing the clock of my gpu/video ram doesn't affect anything
[14:05] <@ragnafrak> and to add
[14:05] <@ragnafrak> highlighting text causes the lines to occur
