hi,
I was using a sparkle 7600 GT and while i was playing PRO EVO soccer 08 the system got freezed. when it was restarted there were stripes aka lines over my screen with a strange color. again i restarted and there was no change. is that because of any prob with the driver or because of a faulty jack. please help me. thanks in advance

I just responded to a similar issue.

Do a google search for a video ram test, it's probably gone bad. Try not to get infected with adware when you download it. If you have bad vid ram the only thing you can do is get a new graphics card, however you still need to run the test to verify that it's the problem.
