Re: Graphics problem

Posted by: MikeHere <MikeHere@...>

I think you're right the graphics card could be a suspect, or its
driver. Even if the driver is the latest release I would get a clean copy
and reinstall it. Going to need the model #
support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

There are a lot buffering shadowing options in the BIOS, a search of the
motherboard's support might reveal a setting that's too aggressive.

Easier and along the line of less aggressive settings, in display
properties, advanced, troubleshooting, try lowering the hardware
acceleration, and disable write combining.
