If you've no previous knowlege of carrying out such a dangerous operation, I would recommend popping your computer into your oven, gas mark 9, for 8 hours, and you will get a similar result... Wink

You may not believe this, because others will tell you different, but it's actually the GRAPHICS card that gives you good graphics.

No amount of tweaking, baking, or making wild statements about what you did to your PCI is going to help your graphics out. The PCI bus runs at a set speed, and messing with it can cause problems, I don't know what you've done, and you probably don't either, so put it back the way it was in my opinion.

Also, you might try buying a graphics card, that will REALLY help. Where on Earth did you dig up an R7000 anyway?

Graphics cards go into graphics slots on your mainboard.
A PCI slot is not a graphics slot, you need to learn why.

Have fun shopping...... I'm not joking........... Byeee! Grin
