ok.... as many folk know my pc went shit crazy a bit back. i've had one of those 'when it rains it pours' times.

my os went nuts..... $200 for win xp. ethernet card died.... $20... christmas night one of my 80 gig hds died..... $210. .

now i load up FFXI..... i'm fine unti time to make a character when suddenly the screen goes black and then it is as if the game was never began.

again...... the setups, menus, movies..... everything plays flawlessly. the game itself starts. crash. also I got Battlefield 1942 with the same results.

not one other programs fucks up.

I have a Radeon 7000 card..... if I need a new one i will be broke but i can handle it. i will not handle anymore fuck ups. advice?

..... is there any fuckin way a $200 or less can handle Doom 3?

i don't understand graphics cars....
