Why The Lag?

[Pine]

The last time I started up my computer a couple hours ago I was still BSODing.
I got the dump info and posted it in a tech support forum but I haven't gotten any responses yet

It is summer, things run hotter, dust buildup creates an insulation layer. If you graphics card has a cover on it, time to get the dust out from under it.

That's a good point.

I once had a processor fan that ended up getting plugged with dust. I had a hard time trying to diagnose the system instability and I was too foolish to check system temps right away or just popping open the case to look for dust/capacitor issues.

Good luck iOwn...its frustrating tracking down these issues.

Okay well I think the problem is my graphics card, one that I got just a few months ago, after taco tried to help me pin down the problem.
I'm in safe mode right now and the screen is cut in half, with the bottom half being on top and vice versa. It looks and acts very silly like.
I'm most likely not going to be able to participate in the villympics because of this.
