Here's what I got.

Whenever I try to run progams that require extensive use of the video card (mostly games like Warcraft and some flash even), the screen freezes up, I've recorded video of the crash, but the site won't let me pload, however I do have an image of the screen after the crash. It's not overheating, already checked that out, and I can't figure out what the problem is. Any ideas?

Welcome to TSF! Some of the video card gurus might be able to help you with this one. I'd personally say the video card has bit the dust. Likely the memory. Again, the video guys can get a bit more extensive than me and offer some advice.

id also agree with the video card having bit the dust. since when did this occur ?
