The problem:
I keep getting all these wonderful colored striped patterns sporadically. It happens at any time, prior to windows boot, during windows boot and after windows boot. Sometimes I can use the system for a while and sometimes it immediately goes crazy.
System:
Dell 4700 (I know I know but Intel was giving everyone $1000 bucks to spend at Dell online, what was I gonna say no?)
1.5 gig ram
ATI x700 PCIe
Solutions:
I've flashed the bios, reinstalled everything I can think of, read online faqs at ATI, Dell and Intel
The only help I found was at ATI, there was a problem with an ASUS MB 915G that would inherently overclock the video card and crash it until they fixed it with an upgraded bios setting. Doesn't really help since my PC doesn't have a Asus MB in it. Too bad I can't install the Asus bios into mine.
I heard mention of some compatibility charts but I can't find them.
I did do numerous searches on this subject here but couldn't find my exact problem.
Should I just get a new/better MB?
At my wits end please help.
Thanks
