I am having problems with my video card. I have a Nvidia Riva TNT2 Model 64 AGP video card and after having some driver issues, I can successfully load XP normally now. However, everytime I move my mouse, it seems to leave traces of garble behind it. They are like pixels that are not the same color as their buddies around them. Like red pixels appear on light blue or white colors... neon green pixels appear on normal green background. I can however click the show desktop button on quick launch and all the garble disappears from the desktop background (taskbar garble remains). Anyway, its damn annoying and I was wondoring how I can fix it. I got the latest official drivers at Nvidia (29.42). Oh yes, one other thing. When I boot into safe mode, I do not encounter any of these problems.
Another one of my concerns, which I am sure is related... is the temperature of my system. In my bios it says that my CPU is running at 65C!!!! I have no idea WHY it is running so high. I have my CPU in place as normal, with a big heatsink and fan on top of it, and I put lots of CPU grease between the CPU and heatsink and it is still running high. I only have a duron 850 so it shouldnt be running that hot. My fan on my heat sink is spinning and supposively doing its job, but I am at a loss as to why it is so high. Any thoughts?
