ok, here is my problem. i purchased a bfg ti4200 from woot.com about a month ago. i havent had any big problems with it until recently. I tried to install diablo 2 yesterday and during the video test it froze. after i restarted it, (during system check, memory test, floppy check) i get missing letters here and there on system check screen (and weird letters in the middle of the back screens and such). so i restarted and went into the bios and once again lots of letters were missing. then i updated the bios and once in a while i get jumbled up letters in the boot screen. today, i got a display adapter failure after leaving the computer to get something to eat, so i restarted and then i updated to sp2. then i just ran the fresh diagnose video test and it froze. I called BFG for an rma but they said it sounded like a power supply problem and told me to try it on another sytem before i try to send it in.
anyonw know if it could be a power supply problem? i mean i ran C&C Generals before and it ran fine and it still runs fine (i can play it right now with no problems). i also had a 0x0000009c error problem but it seems to have been fixed with a new dimm of ram. anyone have any suggestions because i am very frustrated? :-(
