top view is spot plane and bottom is tower view. I have a Gforce4 Ti 4200. Any Ideas on what could cause this?

Yea, must be a ATI Radeon in desguise. I got one of thoes things and I got triangles flashing all over the screen.
Seriously, its probably a driver problem. What driver version do you have?

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday. Wink

I have version 43.45. I guess I could try the newest one first, then try a roll back to a previous one

Ok, now its time to figure out this problem. I think I know what device might have caused this. Back in March I bought a Powermax ATX switching power supply, single fan 400watts. This AM I try to wake up the computer but it is dead. I figure I'll just swap out the 400 watt for the OEM that I just happened to save for some reason. (250 watts) Now the plane looks as it should.
I swapped out the power unit in the first place because the Gforce4 manufacture stated that a min 350 watt power supply was needed.
So, why did this power unit cause that? I am going to take it back and ask the place that sold it to me whats wrong.

seems to be the reason for your prob. and the info with your power supply and your GF 4 (min.350W) is wrong. my 9700pro is supplied by 300W and it works just fine! Wink

I realized that after I posted it. The store where I got the supply didnt have a 350, just 400.
