(this is a picture of unreal tournament 2004 opening sequince. once i get to the main menu, i cant read or realy even see anything, its all just weir collored small boxes.)

Anyway i have just recently reformatted my computer because of adware issues. Anyway this and other games i play worked fine before i reformatted my computer, but now they don't work. I have installed the Nvida graphics drivers, gotten the most recent direct X, and have updated microsoft. I also have look in my divice mannager thingy and nothing was missing or wrong.
I have a good enough graphics card to run theses games (because i played them just fine before i reformatted) Someone please help me!!

I once had a problem like yours with an old dell computer of mine. If I can remember correctley I removed the graphics card from its slot and simply re-installed it. If this doesn't help you post back and maybe myself or somebody else can help get you in the right direction.

But my graphics card is integrated. Im not sure if it even came with a install disc.

I would open the case and blow out any dust and dirt (for any potential heat/blockage issue), then vaccum out out (very carefully), then try and update your integrated IGP drivers. You will need to know what you have before you do that. If this still continues over time you may need a new power supply. However you could just get a new add-in video card and see if that solves it for you - there is a wide price/performance range for your budget. I know you want to get your IGP working though if you can. Perhaps just updating the video driver and cleaning out your case will do the trick.
